Question

Find the sum of the given polynomials.

ax + by + c, 2ax - 3by + c, and by - c

3ax - by + c
3a + x - bc
3ax + by - cd
bx - 3bc + a

Answer 1

If you would like to find the sum of the given polynomials, you can do this using the following steps:

ax + by + c + 2ax - 3by + c + by - c = ax + 2ax + by - 3by + by + c + c - c = 3ax - by + c

The correct result would be 3ax - by + c.

Answer 2

ax + by + c
2ax - 3by + c
by - c
3ax - by + c First Option.

You must align like terms before adding them. This is to ensure that there will be no confusion in getting the sum of the given polynomials.
