Math 9
Today in class we discussed adding polynomials.

For example, these are the steps to follow:

1. Combine like terms in the brackets.

2. Drop the brackets.

3. Re-write the equation by placing all terms in order of degree.

4. Combine like terms with the whole equation by simplifying.


The notes we took today is a concrete example.
If you were not in class today, please get your notes.
