Add $ \, \color{blue}{ 5x+14 } \, $ and $ \, \color{orangered}{ 2x }$.
Answer
$$ \left( \color{blue}{5x+14} \right) + \color{orangered}{2x} = 7x+14 $$
Explanation
Step 1: Write second polynomial below the first one. Making sure like terms are lined up.
$$ \begin{array}{lrr} & 5x & 14 \\ \color{blue}{ + } & 2x & \\ \hline \end{array} $$Step 2: Combine like terms (add each column):
$$ \begin{array}{lrr} & 5x & 14 \\ \color{blue}{ + } & 2x & \\ \hline & 7x & 14 \end{array} $$This page was created using
