(2x³-5x²+6x-11)+(6x³+4x²-6x+12)-(5x³+3x²-9x+25) Write the first two polynomials one under the other with like terms one under the other. Then combine term by term: 2x³-5x²+6x-11 6x³+4x²-6x+12 8x³-1x²+0x+ 1 and then under that bottom line: 8x³-1x²+0x+ 1 Write the third polynomial: 8x³-1x²+0x+ 1 -(5x³+3x²-9x+25) But to subtract we must change every sign inside the parentheses. Then we combine them: 8x³-1x²+0x+ 1 -5x³-3x²+9x-25 3x³-4x²+9x-24 Edwin
