Add $ \, \color{blue}{ -6x-2 } \, $ and $ \, \color{orangered}{ 6x^2-5x-10 }$.
Answer
$$ \left( \color{blue}{-6x-2} \right) + \left( \color{orangered}{6x^2-5x-10} \right) = 6x^2-11x-12 $$
Explanation
Step 1: Write second polynomial below the first one. Making sure like terms are lined up.
$$ \begin{array}{lrrr} & & -6x & -2 \\ \color{blue}{ + } & 6x^2 & -5x & -10 \\ \hline \end{array} $$Step 2: Combine like terms (add each column):
$$ \begin{array}{lrrr} & & -6x & -2 \\ \color{blue}{ + } & 6x^2 & -5x & -10 \\ \hline & 6x^2 & -11x & -12 \end{array} $$This page was created using
