question
perform the operation.
$(4x^2 - 8) + (-10x^2 + 2)$

Explanation:

Step1: Remove parentheses

We have \((4x^{2}-8)+(-10x^{2}+2)=4x^{2}-8 - 10x^{2}+2\)

Step2: Combine like terms

For the \(x^{2}\) terms: \(4x^{2}-10x^{2}=(4 - 10)x^{2}=-6x^{2}\)
For the constant terms: \(-8 + 2=-6\)
So the result is \(-6x^{2}-6\)

Answer:

\(-6x^{2}-6\)
