Question

simplify.
$(4x^2 - 6x - 1) + (2x^2 - 5x + 3)$

Explanation:

Step1: Remove parentheses

$4x^2 - 6x - 1 + 2x^2 - 5x + 3$

Step2: Combine like $x^2$ terms

$4x^2 + 2x^2 = 6x^2$

Step3: Combine like $x$ terms

$-6x - 5x = -11x$

Step4: Combine constant terms

$-1 + 3 = 2$

Step5: Combine all simplified terms

$6x^2 - 11x + 2$

Answer:

$6x^2 - 11x + 2$
