Example Question #27 : Simplifying Expressions
Evaluate the following:
With this problem, you need to take the trinomials out of parentheses and combine like terms. Since the two trinomials are being added together, you can remove the parentheses without needing to change any signs:
The next step is to combine like terms, based on the variables. You have two terms with 
Example Question #8 : How To Add Trinomials
Evaluate the following:
With this problem, you need to distribute the two fractions across each of the trinomials. To do this, you multiply each term inside the parentheses by the fraction outside of it:
The next step is to combine like terms, based on the variables. You have two terms with 
Example Question #9 : How To Add Trinomials
