Correct Answer
A. AExplanation
The given expression is a sum of two polynomials. To simplify the expression, we combine like terms by adding the coefficients of the same degree terms. In this case, the x^3 term does not have a like term, so it remains as -x^3. The x^2 terms have a like term in each polynomial, so we add the coefficients: 3x^2 + 3x^2 = 6x^2. The x term also has a like term in each polynomial, so we add the coefficients: x + x = 2x. Finally, the constant terms have a like term in each polynomial, so we add the coefficients: 3 + 4 = 7. Therefore, the simplified expression is -x^3 + 6x^2 + 2x + 7, which matches option A.Rate this question:

C. CExplanation
The given expression is a sum of two polynomials. To simplify, we combine like terms by adding the coefficients of the same degree. In the first polynomial, we have -2x^3 and in the second polynomial, we have 0x^3 (since there is no x^3 term). Therefore, the x^3 term remains the same in the simplified expression. Similarly, we add the coefficients of x^2, x, and constants. The simplified expression becomes -2x^3 + 6x^2 + 6x + 9. This matches option C.Rate this question:

C. CExplanation
The given expression is a sum of two polynomial expressions. To simplify, we can combine like terms by adding the coefficients of the same degree variables. In the first term, we have 3x^6 and in the second term, we have 3x^8. Combining these two terms, we get 3x^8 + 3x^6. Similarly, the coefficients of x terms can be combined. In the first term, we have 4x and in the second term, we have 6x. Combining these two terms, we get 10x. Finally, we have a constant term of 3 in both terms, so it remains the same. Therefore, the simplified expression is 3x^8 + 3x^6 + 10x + 3, which matches option C.Rate this question:

The given expression involves addition and subtraction of terms with variables. To simplify the expression, we first perform the multiplications within the parentheses: 2x7 = 14, 7x4 = 28, and 2x4 = 8. Then, we perform the subtractions within the parentheses: 8 - x. Finally, we combine all the terms: 14 + 28 + 6 - (8 - x) = 48 - 8 + x = 40 + x. Therefore, the correct answer is C, which is 2x7 + 5x4 + x + 6.Rate this question:
