Question

(8x2+17x)+6x2

Answer 1

\[(8x ^{2}+17x)+6x^{2}\]

Answer 2

Combine like terms.
\[8x^{2}+6x^{2}\]

Answer 3

First the whole numbers.
\[8 + 6\]Then combine the variables and the exponents.
\[x^{2}+x^{2}=x+x+x+x=x^{4}\]

Answer 4

So far your answer is: \[14x^{2}\]

Answer 5

Now you're left with your answer which is: \[17x+14x^{4}\]
These cannot be combined because the 17x does not have an exponent, when 14x has an exponent of 4.
