Write in Standard Form (7a^3-2a-2)+(-5a+3)

$(7 a^{3} - 2 a - 2) + (- 5 a + 3)$

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

Subtract $5 a$ from $- 2 a$ .

$7 a^{3} - 7 a - 2 + 3$

Step 3

Add $- 2$ and $3$ .

$7 a^{3} - 7 a + 1$
