Question

Simplify (6x2 − 3 − 5x3) − (4x3 2x2 − 8). 9x3 − 4x2 − 5 −9x3 4x2 5 x3 − x2 − 13x3 −x3 x2 13x3.

Answer 1

Like terms have the same variable and power. The simplification of the expression (6x²-3-5x³)-(4x³+2x²-8) is -9x³+4x²+5.

What are Like terms?

Like terms are those terms that are having the same variables, also the variables are of the same order as well.

for example, 25x and 5x are like terms; 30xy and 7xy are like terms, 9x³ and 4x² are not like terms, etc.

We know that to simplify an expression we need to add or subtract like terms, therefore,

$(6x^2- 3 - 5x^3) -(4x^3+2x^2 - 8)\\\\= 6x^2- 3 - 5x^3 -4x^3-2x^2 + 8\\\\= - 5x^3 -4x^3+6x^2-2x^2+8-3\\\\ = -9x^3+4x^2+5$

Hence, the simplification of the expression (6x²-3-5x³)-(4x³+2x²-8) is -9x³+4x²+5.
