…. first write
like terms in order then add them

….

….add numbers in parentheses
to add these numbers %282+-%283%2F2%29++%2B+%282%2F3%29+-+%284%2F3%29%29 , we need a least common
denominator which is 6

….

x%5E2%2812-9+%2B+4+-+8%29++%2B+16x+%2B+12….
x%5E2%28-1%29++%2B+16x+%2B+12….

-+x%5E2+%2B+16x+%2B+12….this quadratic function cannot be factored, so your
answer is:
-+x%5E2+%2B+16x+%2B+12….
