Add $ \, \color{blue}{ 10a } \, $ and $ \, \color{orangered}{ 4a-3 }$.
Answer
$$ \color{blue}{10a} + \left( \color{orangered}{4a-3} \right) = 14a-3 $$
Explanation
Step 1: Write second polynomial below the first one. Making sure like terms are lined up.
$$ \begin{array}{lrr} & 10a & \\ \color{blue}{ + } & 4a & -3 \\ \hline \end{array} $$Step 2: Combine like terms (add each column):
$$ \begin{array}{lrr} & 10a & \\ \color{blue}{ + } & 4a & -3 \\ \hline & 14a & -3 \end{array} $$This page was created using
