Question

Simplify 5x – 12y + 8x + 2x2 + 4x2

Answer 1

The answer is "6x²+13x-12y."

You can start to simplify this by separating the equation into like terms.

1. 2x²+4x²=6x²
2. 5x+8x=13x
3. -12y

Then put the expression back together.
6x²+13x-12y

Answer 2

First, let's simplify by multiplying what needs to be multiplied:
5x - 12y + 8x + 4 + 8
Now we add and subtract where needed:
13x + 12 - 12y
