Solution
Solution Steps
To simplify the given expression \(92x^2 + x - 1 + xy + \frac{2x^3}{x}\), we need to combine like terms and simplify the fraction. The term \(\frac{2x^3}{x}\) simplifies to \(2x^2\). Adding this to the other \(x^2\) term, we get \(92x^2 + 2x^2\). The rest of the terms remain unchanged.
Step 1: Simplify the Fraction
First, we simplify the term \(\frac{2x^3}{x}\):
\[
\frac{2x^3}{x} = 2x^2
\]
Step 2: Combine Like Terms
Next, we combine the like terms in the expression \(92x^2 + x - 1 + xy + 2x^2\):
\[
92x^2 + 2x^2 = 94x^2
\]
Step 3: Write the Simplified Expression
After combining the like terms, the simplified expression is:
\[
94x^2 + xy + x - 1
\]
