Question
Add $ \, \color{blue}{ 7u^2+5u+7 } \, $ and $ \, \color{orangered}{ 3u+6 }$.
Answer
$$ \left( \color{blue}{7u^2+5u+7} \right) + \left( \color{orangered}{3u+6} \right) = 7u^2+8u+13 $$
Explanation
Step 1: Write second polynomial below the first one. Making sure like terms are lined up.
$$ \begin{array}{lrrr} & 7u^2 & 5u & 7 \\ \color{blue}{ + } & & 3u & 6 \\ \hline \end{array} $$Step 2: Combine like terms (add each column):
$$ \begin{array}{lrrr} & 7u^2 & 5u & 7 \\ \color{blue}{ + } & & 3u & 6 \\ \hline & 7u^2 & 8u & 13 \end{array} $$This page was created using
