Question
Add $ \, \color{blue}{ 14y-2 } \, $ and $ \, \color{orangered}{ 16y-10 }$.
Answer
$$ \left( \color{blue}{14y-2} \right) + \left( \color{orangered}{16y-10} \right) = 30y-12 $$
Explanation
Step 1: Write second polynomial below the first one. Making sure like terms are lined up.
$$ \begin{array}{lrr} & 14y & -2 \\ \color{blue}{ + } & 16y & -10 \\ \hline \end{array} $$Step 2: Combine like terms (add each column):
$$ \begin{array}{lrr} & 14y & -2 \\ \color{blue}{ + } & 16y & -10 \\ \hline & 30y & -12 \end{array} $$This page was created using
