Add $ \, \color{blue}{ -6x^2+3x-7 } \, $ and $ \, \color{orangered}{ 10x^2+4x-2 }$.
Answer
$$ \left( \color{blue}{-6x^2+3x-7} \right) + \left( \color{orangered}{10x^2+4x-2} \right) = 4x^2+7x-9 $$
Explanation
Step 1: Write second polynomial below the first one. Making sure like terms are lined up.
$$ \begin{array}{lrrr} & -6x^2 & 3x & -7 \\ \color{blue}{ + } & 10x^2 & 4x & -2 \\ \hline \end{array} $$Step 2: Combine like terms (add each column):
$$ \begin{array}{lrrr} & -6x^2 & 3x & -7 \\ \color{blue}{ + } & 10x^2 & 4x & -2 \\ \hline & 4x^2 & 7x & -9 \end{array} $$This page was created using
