Question

perform the indicated operation by removing the parentheses and combining like terms.

\\(-2x^2 + 5) + (6x^2 - 3)\\

Explanation:

Remove the parentheses

Using the Polynomial Addition knowledge point

$$ (-2x^2 + 5) + (6x^2 - 3) = -2x^2 + 5 + 6x^2 - 3 $$

Group the like terms

Using the Polynomial Simplification knowledge point

$$ (-2x^2 + 6x^2) + (5 - 3) $$

Combine the coefficients

Using the Polynomial Simplification knowledge point

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

Answer:

Perform the indicated operation by removing the parentheses and combining like terms.

$$ (-2x^2 + 5) + (6x^2 - 3) = $$
