Add the following polynomials (write answers in descending order): 1. (7j9 – 2) + (5j9 - j - 3)

2. (8a - 4) + (3a + a - 2)

3. (6m² + 1) + (3a + a - 2)

4. (3m + 1) + (9m + 3m - 2)

5. (- 5x2 - x + 4) + (- 3x?
5x + 2)

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

1. (7j³ - 2) + (5j³ - j - 3)

Open the parentheses

7j³ - 2 + 5j³ - j - 3

Collect like terms. Like terms are terms that have the same degree.

7j³ + 5j³ - j - 2 - 3 (7j³ and 5j³, have the same degree, 2 and 3 are if the same degree)

12j³ - j - 5 (this already in descending order)

2. (8a⁵ - 4) + (3a⁵ + a - 2)

Open parentheses

8a⁵ - 4 + 3a⁵ + a - 2

Collect like terms

8a⁵ + 3a⁵ + a - 4 - 2

12a⁵ + a - 6 (in ascending order from largest to smallest degree)

3. (6m² + 1) + (3a⁵ + a - 2)

6m² + 1 + 3a⁵ + a - 2

Collect like terms

6m² + 3a⁵ + a + 1 - 2

6m² + 3a⁵ + a - 1

Rearrange from largest to smallest degree

3a⁵ + 6m² + a - 1

4. (3m⁵ + 1) + (9m⁵ + 3m - 2)

3m⁵ + 1 + 9m⁵ + 3m - 2

Collect like terms

3m⁵ + 9m⁵ + 3m + 1 - 2

12m⁵ + 3m - 1

5. (- 5x² - x + 4) + (- 3x² - 5x + 2)

Open parentheses

-5x² - x + 4 - 3x² - 5x + 2

Collect like terms

-5x² - 3x² - x - 5x + 4 + 2

-8x² - 6x + 6

black lol

step-by-step explanation:

h

i can tell you jamal now has 3 cookies xd

tommy has 2.

this made me lol.

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

1

4

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

1

4

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−37

−3

x=
