Simplify.

7y - x2 + 3x - 17x - 5y + 2x2

A.

-13x2 + 1y

B.

x2 - 14x + 2y

C.

2x2 - 12xy

D.

3x2 + 20x + 12y

first, you would rearrange the equation so that like terms were next to each other.

7y - 5y - x2 + 2x2 + 3x - 17x

then you would reduce the equation based on like terms

2y + x2 - 14x

then simply rearrange the equation to get the answer, which is B
