Question

Which statement is true about the polynomial 3x2y2 − 5xy2 − 3x2y2 + 2x2 after it has been fully simplified?

Answer 1

Assuming that many of the 2s that follow a letter x or y are in fact EXPONENTS, you ought to first factor out the greatest common monomial factor...which seems to be x only.

 

Now you are poised to answer the question, EXCEPT THAT YOU FORGOT TO INCLUDE THE STATEMENTS FROM WHICH YOU ARE TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT ONES!!
