Question

X=7w^+4w-6 and y=w^-11w+13

Answer 1

Although the terms might seem intimidating, this is a simple substitution problem.

X + Y = _______
Substitute the values of X and Y in terms of w
(7w^2 + 4w - 6) + (w^2 - 11w + 13) = ______
Now all you need to do is combine like terms (terms that have the same variables raised to the same power)
8w^2 - 7w + 7

Final Answer: 8w^2 - 7w + 7
