Algebra question, please help. Giving medals.:)
The lengths of two sides of a triangle are shown below:

Side 1: 3x^2 - 4x - 1
Side 2: 4x - x^2 + 5

The perimeter of the triangle is 5x^3 - 2x^2 + 3x - 8.

Part A: What is the total length of the two sides, 1 and 2, of the triangle? (4 points)

I just don't know if summing them or subtracting them.
