Write in Standard Form (2y^2-5y+3)+(y^2-2y-5)

$(2 y^{2} - 5 y + 3) + (y^{2} - 2 y - 5)$

Step 1

To write a polynomial in standard form, simplify and then arrange the terms in descending order.

$a x^{2} + b x + c$

Step 2

Add $2 y^{2}$ and $y^{2}$ .

$3 y^{2} - 5 y + 3 - 2 y - 5$

Step 3

Subtract $2 y$ from $- 5 y$ .

$3 y^{2} - 7 y + 3 - 5$

Step 4

Subtract $5$ from $3$ .

$3 y^{2} - 7 y - 2$
