How to simplify -5a^2-19a^2-5a-8+12a^2-22-14a-2a?

okay so first let's identify all the like terms in this equation

- 8 & - 22

-5a^2, - 19a^2, 12a^2

-5a, -14a, -2a

we can combine each of these sets of like terms separately and then write them all out together

so combining - 8 and - 22 is - 30

- 5a^2 and -19a^2 is -24a^4, then combining it with positive 12a^2 leaves you with -12a^2

-5a, -14a, - 2a is - 21a

so we have - 30 - 21a - 12a^2 as a finished result

however if your teacher wants you to factor then you have:

3(-7a - 4a^2 - 10)

or

-3(7a + 4a^2 +10)

add all the numbers and check the ones place.

the answer is 486. as the ones place is more than 4, the estimation will be the next 10 ie, 490

answer: 4 meters

step-by-step explanation: to you understand 2/3 better you can do 1 divided by 3 = . then multiply that by the 2 which is .66666666666666667 then you would do 6 x .66666666666666667 which is 4.      

hope this .
