I'm going to presume a typo on your part and that you actually meant



Now, instead of x-squared and x and no variable at all, you have apples, new york steaks, and bunches of broccoli. Which is to say:

-2.9 apples plus 2.7 apples is -0.2 apples.

3.1 steaks plus -4.1 steaks is -1 steaks.

-7.6 little trees plus 9 little trees is 1.4 little trees. (maybe mom won't see me give them to the dog)

Now put the x-squared and the x back where they were:



Th-th-th-th-th-that's all folks.
