(2x2+6x+1)+(3x2+3x+9)=5x2+9x+10

True or False?

1 answer

Let's simplify the left-hand side of the equation step by step:

  1. Combine the terms from the first expression \( (2x^2 + 6x + 1) \) and the second expression \( (3x^2 + 3x + 9) \):

\[ 2x^2 + 6x + 1 + 3x^2 + 3x + 9 \]

  1. Combine like terms:
  • For the \( x^2 \) terms: \( 2x^2 + 3x^2 = 5x^2 \)
  • For the \( x \) terms: \( 6x + 3x = 9x \)
  • For the constant terms: \( 1 + 9 = 10 \)

Putting it all together, we have:

\[ 5x^2 + 9x + 10 \]

Now, we compare this result with the right-hand side of the equation \( 5x^2 + 9x + 10 \).

Both sides are indeed equal:

\[ (2x^2 + 6x + 1) + (3x^2 + 3x + 9) = 5x^2 + 9x + 10 \]

Therefore, the statement is True.
