Question
Add $ \, \color{blue}{ 5m^3+3m+5 } \, $ and $ \, \color{orangered}{ 18m^3+10 }$.
Answer
$$ \left( \color{blue}{5m^3+3m+5} \right) + \left( \color{orangered}{18m^3+10} \right) = 23m^3+3m+15 $$
Explanation
Step 1: Write second polynomial below the first one. Making sure like terms are lined up.
$$ \begin{array}{lrrr} & 5m^3 & 3m & 5 \\ \color{blue}{ + } & 18m^3 & & 10 \\ \hline \end{array} $$Step 2: Combine like terms (add each column):
$$ \begin{array}{lrrr} & 5m^3 & 3m & 5 \\ \color{blue}{ + } & 18m^3 & & 10 \\ \hline & 23m^3 & 3m & 15 \end{array} $$This page was created using
