Simplify the expressions by combining like terms
1. 6n^2 - 2n - 3 + 5n^2 - 9n - 6
2. 8c^2 - c + 3 + 2c^2-c + 2

Hey!

Question #1:

= 6n^2 - 2n - 3 + 5n^2 - 9n - 6

= 6n^2 + (-2n) + (-3) + 5n^2 + (-9n) + (-6)

= (6n^2 + 5n^2) + (-2n + -9n) + (-3 + -6)

= (11n^2) + (-11n) + (-9)

11n² + (-11n) + (-9)

Question #2:

= 8c^2 - c + 3 + 2c^2 - c + 2

= 8c^2 + (-c) + 3 + 2c^2 + (-c) + 2

= (8c^2 + 2c^2) + (-c + -c) + (3 + 2)

= (10c^2) + (-2c) + (5)

10c² + (-2c) + 5

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!

step-by-step explanation:

descending order means to order the polynomials from the term with the largest exponent to the term with the smallest exponent.  

therefore, the correct answer is d.
