Addition of Algebraic Expression

While adding algebraic expressions, we collect different groups of like terms and then simplify the coefficients of like terms in each group.

Illustration:  Add:7x^2- 4x+ 5, -3x^{2} + 2x - 1 ;;and ;;5x^{2}-x +9

Solution : We are required to find the sum

                       =(7x^{2}- 4x+ 5) + ( -3x^{2} + 2x - 1 ) + ( 5x^{2}-x +9 )

                       =7x^{2}- 3x^{2}+ 5x^{2}- 4x + 2x -x + 5 - 1 + 9

                       =left ( 7 - 3 + 5 right )x^{2} + left (- 4 + 2 - 1 right )x + left (5 - 1 + 9 right )

                       =9x^{2} - 3x + 13

Illustration:   Add: 5x^{2} - frac{1}{3} x +frac{5}{2},;; - frac{1}{2}x^{2} + frac{1}{2} x -frac{1}{3} ;;and; -2x^{2} + frac{1}{5} x -frac{1}{6}

Solution We are required to find the sum

                       =(5x^{2}-frac{1}{3}x + frac{5}{2}) + (-frac{1}{2}x^{2}+ frac{1}{2}x -frac{1}{3}) + (-2x^{2}+ frac{1}{5}x - frac{1}{6})

                        =5x^{2} - frac{1}{2}x^{2} - 2x^{2} -frac{1}{3}x + frac{1}{2}x + frac{1}{5}x + frac{5}{2}- frac{1}{3} - frac{1}{6}

                        =left (5-frac{1}{2}-2 right ) x^{2} +left (-frac{1}{3} + frac{1}{2}+frac{1}{5}right ) x + left (frac{5}{2}- frac{1}{3} - frac{1}{6}right )

                       =left(frac{10-1-4}{2}right ) x^{2} + left (frac{-10+15+6}{30}right ) x + left(frac{15-2-1}{6}right )

                        =frac{5}{2} x^{2} + frac{11}{30} x + 2
