Created for NCVPS

Algebra 1

Term

Add

 

(3x2 - 4x + 8) + (2x - 7x2 - 5)

Definition

Combine Like Terms

(3x2 + -7x2) + (-4x + 2x) + (8 + -5)

(-4x2) + (-2x) + (3)

put it all together so you have

-4x2 + -2x + 3 or the Algebra way would be written as -4x2 - 2x + 3

Term

Add

 

(7y2 + 2y - 3) + (2 - 4y + 5y2)

Definition

Combine Like Terms

(7y2 + 5y2) + (2y + -4y) + (-3 + 2)

(12y2) + (-2y) + (-1)

put it all together so you have

12y2 + -2y + -1 or the Algebra 1 way would be written as 12y2 - 2y - 1

Term

Add

 

(-3n2 - 8 + 2n) + (5n + 12 + n2)

Definition

Combine Like Terms

(-3n2 + 1n2) + (2n + 5n) + (-8 + 12) 

(-2n2) + (7n) + (-4)

put it all together so you have

-2n2 + 7n + -4 or the Algebra 1 way

would be written as -2n2 + 7n - 4

Term

Add

 

(9z - 3z2) + (4z - 7z2)

Definition

Combine Like Terms

(-3z2 + -7z2) + (9z + 4z)

(-10z2) + (13z)

put it all together so you have

-10z2 + 13z

Make sure your answer is in descending order

Term

Add

 

(5x - 3x4 - 7) + (5x4 - 9 + 5x)

Definition

Combine Like Terms

(-3x4 + 5x4) + (5x + 5x) + (-7 + -9)

(2x4) + (10x) + (-16)

put it all together so you have

2x4 + 10x + -16 or the Algebra way would be written as 2x4 + 10x - 16

Term

Add

 

(3x2 + 4x) + (x2 - 2x)

Definition

Combine Like Terms

(3x2 + 1x2) + (4x + -2x)

(4x2) + (2x)

put it all together so you have

4x2 + 2x

Term

Add

 

(2x2 + x - 8) + (3x - 4x2 + 2)

Definition

Combine Like Terms

(2x2 + -4x2) + (1x + 3x) + (-8 + 2)

(-2x2) + (4x) + (-6)

put it all together so you have

-2x2 + 4x + -6 or the Algebra 1 way would be written as -2x2 + 4x - 6

Term

Add

 

(3x2 + 5xy) + (xy + 2x2)

 

Definition

Combine Like Terms

(3x2 + 2x2) + (5xy + 1xy)

(5x2) + (6xy)

put it all together so we you have

5x2 + 6xy

 

Term

Add

 

(4xy2 - 3x2y - 5xy - 6) + (-5xy2 - 2xy + 3)

Definition

Combine Like Terms

(-3x2y ) + (4xy2 + -5xy2) + (-5xy + -2xy) + (-6 + 3)

(-3x2y) + (-1xy2) + (-7xy) + (-3)

put it all together so you have

-3x2y + -1xy2 + -7xy + -3 or the Algebra 1 way would be written as

-3x2y - xy2 - 7xy - 3
