Question

And the polynomial expression 3y - 4y plus 7y + 2 and 5y squared plus 6 - 8y

Answer 1

To simplify the given polynomial expressions, we can combine like terms in each of them.

Let's start with the first expression:

### 1. Simplifying \(3y - 4y + 7y + 2\)
- Combine like terms:
- Combine the \(y\) terms: \(3y - 4y + 7y\)
\(= (3 - 4 + 7)y = 6y\)
- The constant term is \(2\).

So, the first expression simplifies to:
\[
6y + 2
\]

### 2. Simplifying \(5y^2 + 6 - 8y\)
- Here, we can arrange the terms in standard polynomial form (typically in decreasing order of degree):
\[
5y^2 - 8y + 6
\]

### Summary
1. The first expression simplifies to \(6y + 2\).
2. The second expression is already in its simplest form, \(5y^2 - 8y + 6\).
