Find the sum.
(8b + 7) + (6x – 4) + (5c + 8)

+ 8b + 11 + 6x + 5c

Step-by-step explanation:

1.1       Split       8b + 11 + 6x + 5c  

            into two 2-term polynomials

             + 11 + 8b   and     + 6x + 5c

            This partition did not result in a factorization. We'll try another one:

            8b + 11   and     + 6x + 5c

            This partition did not result in a factorization. We'll try another one:

            8b + 6x   and     + 11 + 5c

            This partition did not result in a factorization. We'll try another one:

            8b + 5c   and     + 6x + 11

            This partition did not result in a factorization. We'll try another one:

             + 5c + 8b   and     + 6x + 11

            This partition did not result in a factorization. We'll try another one:

             + 6x + 8b   and     + 11 + 5c

           All three partitions failed. Tiger finds no factorization
