Find the sum (x^3+5x^2+3x-7)+(8x-6^2+6)
Find the difference (7x-3x^2+2)-(x^3+5x^2+2x-5)

x^3 - x^2 + 11x - 1

-x^3 - 8x^2 + 5x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the sum

(x^3+5x^2+3x-7)+(8x-6x^2+6)

=x^3+5x^2+3x-7+8x-6x^+6

Collect like terms

=x^3 +5x^2-6x^2+3x+8x-7+6

Add the like terms

= x^3 - x^2 + 11x - 1

Find the difference (7x-3x^2+2)-(x^3+5x^2+2x-5)

(7x-3x^2+2)-(x^3+5x^2+2x-5)

= 7x-3x^2+2-x^3-5x^2-2x+5

Collect like terms

= -x^3-3x^2-5x^2+7x-2x+2+5

Add the like terms

= -x^3 - 8x^2 + 5x + 7

1/4 and 8/3 because:

the reciprocal if 4 is 1/4 because 4 is used as 4/1 and the opposite of that is 1/4. the opposite of 3/8 is 8/3 so that is the answer.
