Add $ \, \color{blue}{ 2x+3 } \, $ and $ \, \color{orangered}{ 4x+5 }$.
Answer
$$ \left( \color{blue}{2x+3} \right) + \left( \color{orangered}{4x+5} \right) = 6x+8 $$
Explanation
Step 1: Write second polynomial below the first one. Making sure like terms are lined up.
$$ \begin{array}{lrr} & 2x & 3 \\ \color{blue}{ + } & 4x & 5 \\ \hline \end{array} $$Step 2: Combine like terms (add each column):
$$ \begin{array}{lrr} & 2x & 3 \\ \color{blue}{ + } & 4x & 5 \\ \hline & 6x & 8 \end{array} $$This page was created using
