Combine Constants: Combine the constant terms: 2−3−6. Add these numbers together to get the combined constant term.Calculation: 2−3−6=−1−6=−7.
Combine x2 Terms: Combine the x2 terms: −x2−2x2−6x2. Add the coefficients of these terms together to get the combined x2 term.Calculation: −1x2−2x2−6x2=(−1−2−6)x2=−9x2.
No Like Terms for y2: The y2 term does not have any like terms to combine with, so it remains unchanged as −7y2.
Write Final Expression: Write the final expression by combining the results from the previous steps. The combined constant term is −7, the combined x2 term is −9x2, and the y2 term is −7y2. Final expression: −9x2−7y2−7.
