PLEASE HELP ME THANKS

Use addition and subtraction to simplify the following polynomials. a. add polynomials: (3 – 4x + 8x^2) + (–6 + 2x – 5x^2) step 1: rewrite the polynomials without the parentheses. step 2: write the polynomial in descending order and use parentheses around like terms. step 3: add the like terms identified in step 2 to simplify the polynomial. b. subtract polynomials: (3x – 5 – 7x^2) – (–2 + 6x^2 – 5x) step 1: rewrite the polynomials without the parentheses. remember to multiply each term in the second parentheses by –1. show your work. step 2: write the polynomial in descending order and use parentheses around like terms. step 3: add the like terms identified in step 2 to simplify the polynomial.

How is this equation completed? i cannot find any examples in the book.

Astudent found the solution below for the given inequality. |x-9|< -4 x-9> 4 and x-9< -4 x> 13 and x< 5 which of the following explains whether the student is correct? -the student is completely correct because the student correctly wrote and solved the compound inequality. -the student is partially correct because only one part of the compound inequality is written correctly. -the student is partially correct because the student should have written the statements using “or” instead of “and.” -the student is completely incorrect because there is no solution to this inequality.
