Does this help? If it doesn't i can try to explain more if you want.
Answer:
Terms must have the same variable (letter) and the same exponent (little number)
(7x² +3y+ 5) +(9x²+11y- 2)
Opening bracket
7x²+3y+5+9x²+11y-2
keeping like terms together
7x²+9x²+3y+11y+5-2
Since terms having same variable and exponent can be subtracted, added,divided and multiplied
So
Solving like terms we get
<u>16x²+14y+3</u> which is a correct answer.
1). 1n+5-1
N=26
2). n2+n n2+n
n3+n2+n
