Question
Add $ \, \color{blue}{ 8q+4 } \, $ and $ \, \color{orangered}{ 5q+3 }$.
Answer
$$ \left( \color{blue}{8q+4} \right) + \left( \color{orangered}{5q+3} \right) = 13q+7 $$
Explanation
Step 1: Write second polynomial below the first one. Making sure like terms are lined up.
$$ \begin{array}{lrr} & 8q & 4 \\ \color{blue}{ + } & 5q & 3 \\ \hline \end{array} $$Step 2: Combine like terms (add each column):
$$ \begin{array}{lrr} & 8q & 4 \\ \color{blue}{ + } & 5q & 3 \\ \hline & 13q & 7 \end{array} $$This page was created using
