Adding and Subtracting Polynomials
Add and Subtract Polynomials To add polynomials, you can group like terms horizontally or write them in column
form, aligning like terms vertically. Like terms are monomial tems that have the same variables, with coresponding
variables having the same exponent, such as 3p and -Sp or 2x y and 8x y.
You can subtract a polynomial by adding its additive inverse. To find the additive inverse of a polynomial, replace each
term with its additive inverse or opposite.
Example: Find (3x + 2x - 6) - (2x + x+ 3).
Horizontal Method
Vertical Method
Use additive inverses to rewrite as addition.
Then group like terms.
Align like terms in columns and subtract by adding the
additive inverse.
(3x + 2x – 6) – (2r +x² + 3)
- (3x + 2x - 6) + [(-2x) + (-x*) + (-3)]
- (3x +(-x')] + [2r + (-2x)] + [-6 + (-3)]
- 2x + (-9)
3x + 2x - 6
3+2x -6
2x
- 2 -9
The difference is 2x-9
The difference is 2x-9
.
Exercises
Find each sum or difference.
1. (4a - 5) + (3a + 6)
2. (6x + 9) + (4x² - 7)
