which of the following simplifies to the same expression as 4x^2 - 3x^2 + 5x - 24?

1 answer

To simplify the expression \(4x^2 - 3x^2 + 5x - 24\), we can combine like terms:

  1. Combine the \(x^2\) terms: \[ 4x^2 - 3x^2 = (4 - 3)x^2 = 1x^2 = x^2 \]

  2. The linear term \(5x\) and the constant term \(-24\) remain unchanged.

Putting it all together, we get: \[ x^2 + 5x - 24 \]

Now, if you have options or other expressions that you would like to compare with \(x^2 + 5x - 24\), please provide them, and I can help determine which of those simplifies to the same expression.
