And if possible please add an explanation:)

Use addition and subtraction to simplify the following polynomials. a. add polynomials: (3 – 4x + 8x^2) + (–6 + 2x – 5x^2) step 1: rewrite the polynomials without the parentheses. step 2: write the polynomial in descending order and use parentheses around like terms. step 3: add the like terms identified in step 2 to simplify the polynomial. b. subtract polynomials: (3x – 5 – 7x^2) – (–2 + 6x^2 – 5x) step 1: rewrite the polynomials without the parentheses. remember to multiply each term in the second parentheses by –1. show your work. step 2: write the polynomial in descending order and use parentheses around like terms. step 3: add the like terms identified in step 2 to simplify the polynomial.

Which answer is the solution set to the inequality |x|< 9? a. x< -9 or x> 9 b. x> -9 and x< 9 c. x> -9 or x< 9 d. x< 9 and x< 9

Complete the equation of the line through (−10,3) and (−8,−8). use exact numbers.
