Question

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

\\(2x + 4) + (-8x^2 + 3x - 2)\\

Explanation:

Remove the parentheses

Using the Polynomial Addition knowledge point

$$ (2x + 4) + (-8x^2 + 3x - 2) = 2x + 4 - 8x^2 + 3x - 2 $$

Group like terms

Using the Polynomial Simplification knowledge point

$$ -8x^2 + (2x + 3x) + (4 - 2) $$

Combine like terms

Using the Polynomial Simplification knowledge point

$$ -8x^2 + 5x + 2 $$

Answer:

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

$$(2x + 4) + (-8x^2 + 3x - 2) =$$
