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