To find the sum of the given expression \(8, x, -28x - 2, \) and \(-3x^2 - 7 - 3x\), we can combine all the terms.
Let's break this down:
- The first term is \(8\).
- The second term is \(x\).
- The third term is \(-28x - 2\).
- The fourth term is \(-3x^2 - 7 - 3x\).
Now, let's rearrange the expression and combine like terms:
\[ 8 + x + (-28x - 2) + (-3x^2 - 7 - 3x) \]
Next, let's simplify step-by-step. We can group the terms by their powers of \(x\):
- Constant terms: \(8 - 2 - 7\)
- Linear terms: \(x - 28x - 3x\)
- Quadratic term: \(-3x^2\)
Now, we handle each part:
-
Constant terms: \[ 8 - 2 - 7 = 8 - 9 = -1 \]
-
Linear terms: \[ x - 28x - 3x = 1x - 28x - 3x = (1 - 28 - 3)x = -30x \]
-
Quadratic term: \(-3x^2\) remains as it is.
Putting it all together gives us:
\[ -3x^2 - 30x - 1 \]
So, the sum of the expressions is:
\[ \boxed{-3x^2 - 30x - 1} \]
