Example 1: Adding monomials.
Find the sum:
Add the numerical coefficients
and copy the common
variables.
3a + 5a = (3 + 5) a = 8a
10ab + (-4ab) + 5ab = (10 – 4 + 5)ab = 11ab

Example 1:
What is the sum of (6x2
+ 2x − 7) and (−3x2
−8x + 1 ) ?
Method 1: Add vertically
Line up similar terms, then add the numerical coefficients.
Example 1:
What is the sum of (6x2
+ 2x − 7) and (−3x2
−8x + 1 ) ?
Method 2: Add horizontally
Group like terms and add the numerical coefficients e up similar terms, then add
the numerical coefficients.
Example 2:
What is the sum of (2b + 5c) and (4b + 8c) ?
Method 1: Add vertically
Line up similar terms, then add the numerical coefficients.
Example 2:
What is the sum of (2b + 5c) and (4b + 8c) ?
Method 2: Add horizontally
Group like terms and add the numerical coefficients e up similar terms, then add
the numerical coefficients.
Perform the indicated operation.
a. 4x + 5x = ______
b. -4x + 5x = ______
c. (4x + 5x) + (4y – (–5y)) = ____ + 9y
d. (6n2 + 4n – 2) + (–3n + 8) = ______
Directions: Translate each illustration into algebraic expression and write the sum on the third
column.
Rules for Adding Polynomials
• To add polynomials, simply combine similar terms.
• To combine similar terms, get the sum of the numerical
coefficients and annex the same literal coefficients.
• If there is more than one term, for convenience, write
similar terms in the same column.
REMEMBER!
Find the sum of the following
1. 3a + 8b
+ 9a + b
2. 2x2 + 4
+ x2 – x
3. x2 + x – 2
+ 5x2 + x + 8
4. 7mn + 8ab
+ (-12mn – 5ab)
5. 3x2 + 2x + 1
x2 + x + 7
+ (-2x2 + 3x + 4)
