Question
Add $ \, \color{blue}{ -4x-19 } \, $ and $ \, \color{orangered}{ 13x+7 }$.
Answer
$$ \left( \color{blue}{-4x-19} \right) + \left( \color{orangered}{13x+7} \right) = 9x-12 $$
Explanation
Step 1: Write second polynomial below the first one. Making sure like terms are lined up.
$$ \begin{array}{lrr} & -4x & -19 \\ \color{blue}{ + } & 13x & 7 \\ \hline \end{array} $$Step 2: Combine like terms (add each column):
$$ \begin{array}{lrr} & -4x & -19 \\ \color{blue}{ + } & 13x & 7 \\ \hline & 9x & -12 \end{array} $$This page was created using
