① | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{x} +x^2+2 \color{blue}{0x} = x^2+ \color{blue}{x} +2 $$Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{2} + \color{red}{2} \, \color{green}{ \cancel{0}} \, \, \color{green}{ \cancel{0}} \, = \color{green}{4} $$ |
② | Combine like terms: $$ x^2+x+ \color{blue}{2} \color{blue}{-4} = x^2+x \color{blue}{-2} $$ |
