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