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

$(x^{2} - 3 x - 3) + (2 x^{2} + 7 x - 2)$

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 $x^{2}$ and $2 x^{2}$ .

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

Step 3

Add $- 3 x$ and $7 x$ .

$3 x^{2} + 4 x - 3 - 2$

Step 4

Subtract $2$ from $- 3$ .

$3 x^{2} + 4 x - 5$
