Okie, so you have 2 polynomials separated by a plus sign. If there were a number in front of the polynomial, you would need to factor, as well as if there was a negative sign. But there is just an addition sign so you just add as you would normally. 5x + 9 + 3x - 2 = 8x +7 I hope this helps :-)
400 meters is standard lap distance for a race track. 2 x 50 meters is lap distance in International pools. A lap of 440 yards is 1/4 mile. So 4 laps/mile.
