Question

add the polynomials.
\\((6x^2 - 8x + 1) + (7x^3 - 9x)\\)

the sum is \\(\square\\). (simplify your answer.)

Explanation:

Step1: Remove parentheses

$6x^2 - 8x + 1 + 7x^3 - 9x$

Step2: Group like terms

$7x^3 + 6x^2 + (-8x - 9x) + 1$

Step3: Combine like terms

$7x^3 + 6x^2 - 17x + 1$

Answer:

$7x^3 + 6x^2 - 17x + 1$
