Lesson Steps

Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

Simplify the expression \$ (3"x"^2) + (2"y") - (4"x"^2) \$.

2

Step

The given expression is

\$ (3"x"^2) + (2"y") - (4"x"^2) \$

3

Step

Identify Like Terms: Determine which terms in the expression involve the same variable(s) raised to the same power(s)

\$3"x"^2\$ and \$- 4"x"^2\$

4

Step

Subtract the like terms

⇒ \$3"x"^2 - 4"x"^2 + 2"y"\$
⇒ (3 - 4) \$"x"^2\$ + 2y
⇒ - \$"x"^2\$ + 2y

5

Step

So, the simplified expression is \$ (-"x"^2) + 2"y" \$.

6

Choice.A

The calculation yields the result as: \$(-"x"^2) + 2"y"\$, indicating that this answer is incorrect

\$ (- "x"^2) + 3"y" \$

7

Choice.B

The constant term of \$"x"^2\$ is negative, but here it’s positive, making it the incorrect answer

\$ ("x"^2) + 2"y" \$

8

Choice.C

Correct answer derived from calculation: \$(-"x"^2) + 2"y"\$ yields the result

\$ (- "x"^2) + 2"y" \$

9

Choice.D

The answer is wrong; our calculation yields the result as \$ (-"x"^2) + 2"y" \$

\$ ("x"^2) + 3"y" \$

10

Answer

Option

C
