First we have to find the sum of x
2
- 3y
2

2
- y
2
+ 9
= (x

2
+ 2x
2
- 3y
2
- y
2
+ 9
= 3x

+ 3ab - 9.
= (2a
3

- a
3
- 3b
3
+ b
3

= (8a – 6ab + 5b) + (–6a – ab – 8b) + (–4a + 2ab + 3b)
Collecting positive and negative like terms together, we get
= 8a – 6a – 4a – 6ab – ab + 2ab + 5b – 8b + 3b
= 8a – 10a – 7ab + 2ab + 8b – 8b

Solution:
(i) Given x – 3y – 2z, 5x + 7y – 8z and 3x – 2y + 5z
= (x – 3y – 2z) + (5x + 7y – 8z) + (3x – 2y + 5z)
Collecting positive and negative like terms together, we get
= x + 5x + 3x – 3y + 7y – 2y – 2z – 8z + 5z
= 9x – 5y + 7y – 10z + 5z
= 9x + 2y – 5z

Given x
2
+ 2xy + y
2
, x
2
- 3y
2

2
+ 2x
2
- 3y
2

- 4y
2
+ 9
Now, required expression = (x

= x
2
+ 3x
