Question

How do you simplify `4 x ^2 − 20 x + 3 2 x + 1 + 2 x ^2 − 25 x − 27 4 x + 2`?

Answer 1

`=color(blue)(6x^2) color(green)(−287x)+3`

Explanation:

`4x^2−20x+32x+1+2x^2−25x−274x+2`

Grouping all the coefficients of `x^2` , `x` and the constant terms together.

`=color(blue)(4x^2+2x^2) − color(green)(20x+32x−25x−274x)+2+1`

`=color(blue)(6x^2) color(green)(−287x)+3`
