What is the answer to 2x - 10 - 3x2 plus 10x plus 2x3 plus 3x2?

Answer 1

2x - 10 - 3x2 + 10x + 2x3 + 3x2

There's nothing that needs an answer, because there isn't any question here.

The ragged, disorganized string of terms in the question can be cleaned up,

like terms combined, and rearranged to look a lot better, but nothing actually

changes, and no additional information can be squeezed out of it.

2x3 + 12x - 10 .

That's just a better way to write the same polynomial, not an answer to anything.

====================================================================================

We did that, and found a website that offers a plethora of truly exciting

future possibilities, but brings us no closer to an 'answer' for this question,

for the simple reason that the question contains no question.

'Wolfram' presents graphs of the function "Y = 2x3 + 12x - 10", and factored forms

of the same trinomial. But none of those is an 'answer'; or rather, every point on

the graph is an 'answer' ... listing in pictorial form all the values of the trinomial

for every value that 'x' can have within a certain range ... and of course, there

are an infinite number of them, as there always are whenever you deal with

individual points on a line.

But, again, the questioner has done flung some algebraic-looking stuff at us,

and asked us for 'the answer'. We must not allow his subtle suggestion to

send us off on a merry chase in search of a question to answer, where there

is none.

As we have often said: When the questioner asks "What time is it ?", we must

avoid the natural impulse that makes us yearn to explain how to build a clock.

Even more so in this particular case, where the questioner has merely said

"Good morning", and challenges us not to reply to his remark, but to solve it !

Answer 2

2x - 10) - (3x2 + 10x) + (2x3 + 3x2)
