Math Problem Statement

(4x^2 - 2) - (6x + 1) - (x^2 - 5)

Solution

The expression in the image is:

(4x22)(6x+1)(x25)(4x^2 - 2) - (6x + 1) - (x^2 - 5)

Let's simplify it step by step:

  1. Distribute the negative signs through each term inside the parentheses: 4x226x1x2+54x^2 - 2 - 6x - 1 - x^2 + 5

  2. Combine like terms:

    • For the x2x^2 terms: 4x2x2=3x24x^2 - x^2 = 3x^2
    • For the constant terms: 21+5=2-2 - 1 + 5 = 2
    • For the xx term: 6x-6x

So, the simplified expression is:

3x26x+23x^2 - 6x + 2
