(-x2 - 6x +3) - (-9x2 + x - 1) - (x2 + 5x - 2)?

Can anyone verify for me that I have done this correctly.



Perform the indicated operations....show your work



(-x2 - 6x +3) - (-9x2 + x - 1) - (x2 + 5x - 2)



(-x2 - 6x +3) - (-9x2 + x - 1) - (x2 + 5x - 2)?listen to opera



(-x^2 - 6x + 3) - (-9x^2 + x - 1) - (x^2 + 5x - 2)



Use the distributive property



-x^2 - 6x + 3 + 9x^2 - x + 1 - x^2 - 5x + 2



Add like terms



(-x^2 + 9x^2 - x^2) + (-6x - x - 5x) + (3 + 1 + 2)



Simplify and the answer is



7x^2 - 12x + 6



(-x2 - 6x +3) - (-9x2 + x - 1) - (x2 + 5x - 2)?concert venue opera theater



Answer = 7x^2 -12x + 6



best answer?
-x2-6x+3+9x2-x+1-x2-5x+2=7x2-12x+6
(-x2- 6x +3) - (-9x2 + x -1) - (x2 + 5x -2)



= -x2 -6x +3 +9x2 -x +1 -x2 -5x +2



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



=7x2 -12x +6
