Add $ \, \color{blue}{ 6m^5+1 } \, $ and $ \, \color{orangered}{ 2m^5+9m-1 }$.
Answer
$$ \left( \color{blue}{6m^5+1} \right) + \left( \color{orangered}{2m^5+9m-1} \right) = 8m^5+9m $$
Explanation
Step 1: Write second polynomial below the first one. Making sure like terms are lined up.
$$ \begin{array}{lrrr} & 6m^5 & & 1 \\ \color{blue}{ + } & 2m^5 & 9m & -1 \\ \hline \end{array} $$Step 2: Combine like terms (add each column):
$$ \begin{array}{lrrr} & 6m^5 & & 1 \\ \color{blue}{ + } & 2m^5 & 9m & -1 \\ \hline & 8m^5 & 9m & \end{array} $$This page was created using
