Hey there!
In order for you to find the one that is equivalent to the given expression is to COMBINE YOUR LIKE TERMS then work from there!
12q + q^2 - 8 + q = ?
(q^2) + (12q + q) + (-8)
q^2 = q^2 since it doesn't have any like term(s)
12q + q = 12q + 1q = 13q
-8 = -8 since it doesn't have any like term(s)
Put all the numbers we solved for in An equation and Thats your answer!
If you did it correctly you should have: q^2 + 13q - 8
Answer: q^2 + 13q - 8 ✅
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
