Math Problem Statement

x-2-2x^2-3x-4

Solution

The given expression is:

x22x23x4x - 2 - 2x^2 - 3x - 4

Let's simplify it step by step:

  1. Combine like terms:
    • Terms involving x2x^2: 2x2-2x^2
    • Terms involving xx: x3x=2xx - 3x = -2x
    • Constant terms: 24=6-2 - 4 = -6

Now, the simplified expression is:

2x22x6-2x^2 - 2x - 6
