To add polynomials, simply add any like terms together ... so what is a like term?

Like Terms are terms whose variables (and their exponents such as the 2 in x2) are the same.

In other words, terms that are "like" each other.

To subtract Polynomials, first reverse the sign of each term we are subtracting (in other words turn "+" into "-", and "-" into "+"), then add as usual.

Hope this helped you! (:

Answer:

for question one - x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

a triangle is always 180, in other words you will add all the corners equal to 180

ex (for first question) - 7x -2 + 4x + 5x - 10 = 180

you add like terms, the x with x and single numbers with numbers, which results in 16x - 12 = 180. then you do the original operation "what you do to one sign of the equal side you do to the other"
