Can Holla Forums simplify this?

What, so basicly this faggot
thinks that -5xy + 12xy = - 7xy
the anwser is
3x² + 7xy - 20y²

No. I'm not going to speak for him but it's extremely likely he did this part in the brackets 3x² - [-5xy + 12xy] - 20y² in his head as 12xy - 5xy, then he plugged it back into the brackets but forgot to change the minus sign of 3x² - 5xy to a plus sign. It's a process mistake not an arithmetic mistake

I hope OP understood that you will fight over anything before he made this post.

but its a mistake non the less

oh, no maybe we should call the cops or something?

Yes, as he admitted

If you're getting a sense of superiority because he made a mistake in a math problem then that's on you

...

and you call that simpler than ops formula?
