Exercise 3 Page 3

Recall the Distributive Property.

- 3n^3+n^2+2n

We will begin simplifying by distributing the n to the terms inside the parentheses.

n(n-3n^2+2)

Distribute n

n^2-3n^3+2n

CommutativePropAdd

Commutative Property of Addition

- 3n^3+n^2+2n

Since - 3n^3, n^2, and 2n are not like terms, the expression cannot be simplified any further.
