Question

The sum of negative 2 x squared plus x plus 31 and 3 x squared plus 7 x minus 8 can be written in the form a x squared plus b x plus c, where a, b, and c are constants. What is the value of a + b + c ?

hintHint:

We solve this problem by doing some algebraic manipulations and comparing the coefficients of two equations.

The correct answer is: The value of a + b + c is 32


    Step 1 of 3:
    Given two equations are negative 2 x squared plus x plus 31 and 3 x squared plus 7 x minus 8
    Now, sum of the above two equations are

    open parentheses negative 2 x squared plus x plus 31 close parentheses plus open parentheses 3 x squared plus 7 x minus 8 close parentheses
