Question
Add $ \, \color{blue}{ -6x+6 } \, $ and $ \, \color{orangered}{ 2x-7 }$.
Answer
$$ \left( \color{blue}{-6x+6} \right) + \left( \color{orangered}{2x-7} \right) = -4x-1 $$
Explanation
Step 1: Write second polynomial below the first one. Making sure like terms are lined up.
$$ \begin{array}{lrr} & -6x & 6 \\ \color{blue}{ + } & 2x & -7 \\ \hline \end{array} $$Step 2: Combine like terms (add each column):
$$ \begin{array}{lrr} & -6x & 6 \\ \color{blue}{ + } & 2x & -7 \\ \hline & -4x & -1 \end{array} $$This page was created using
