PROBLEM
Simplify: .
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The expression is a polynomial.
. The variables in the expression are real numbers.
STEP 2
The first step in simplifying the expression is to group like terms together. In this case, we have two types of terms the terms with and the constant terms.
STEP 3
Next, we simplify the terms with by subtracting from .
STEP 4
Now, we simplify the constant terms by adding to .
SOLUTION
Finally, we write the simplified expression by combining the simplified terms from steps3 and4, and the term with .
So, the simplified expression is .
