Simplifying
-1x + -1 = 221 + 2x

Reorder the terms:
-1 + -1x = 221 + 2x

Solving
-1 + -1x = 221 + 2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.
-1 + -1x + -2x = 221 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: -1x + -2x = -3x
-1 + -3x = 221 + 2x + -2x
Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
-1 + -3x = 221 + 0
-1 + -3x = 221

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 1 + -3x = 221 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + -3x = 221 + 1
-3x = 221 + 1

Combine like terms: 221 + 1 = 222
-3x = 222

Divide each side by '-3'.
x = -74

Simplifying
x = -74

Classify the following polynomials according to the number of terms. Combine any like terms first.
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

1) Combining like terms, we get x^2 + 5x, which is a binomial.

2) Combining like terms, we get x^3 + 3x^2, which is a binomial.

3) Combining like terms, we get 4x^3 + x^2 - x, which is a trinomial.

4) I can't answer this because there's an asterisk in place of the exponent.
