Question 161844: Add or subtract this polynomial:
(2p^3+6p^2+10p)+(9p^3+11p^2+3p)
1. Since there is no negative sign in front of the parenthesis you can get rid of the parenthesis (if there was a negative sign in front, you would have to change the signs of the terms inside of the parenthesis as you can get rid of parenthesis)
2p^3 + 6p^2 +10p +9p^3 +11p^2 +3p
Now you can combine like terms (when adding or subtracting like terms, they must have the same variable raised to the same exponent.
(I will reorganize them so you can see my thought process better)
2p^3 + 9p^3 +6p^2 + 11p^2 + 10p +3p
11p^3 + 17p^2 + 13p
