Adding and Subtracting Polynomials Calculator


Polynomials are the expressions which includes variables, constants and exponents where they could be combined using mathematical operations. An example of polynomial includes: 6x2 + 4y -3.

Adding Polynomials can be done by first placing the like terms (terms with same variables) together and then add the like terms.

Here is a simple example that includes addition and subtraction process:

Add: 5x2 + 35y - 4 and 8x2 + 45y - 3

Solution: Let us line up both the polynomials in vertical position.

5x2 + 35y - 4

8x2 + 45y - 3

13x2 + 80y - 7


Therefore, the addition of polynomials: 13x2 + 80y - 7

Similarly, lets subtract both of the polynomials:

5x2 + 35y - 4

8x2 + 45y - 3

as we are going to subtract, all the second polynomial's signs would be changed to opposite sign as shown below:

-8x2 - 45y + 3

Therefore, we can rewrite the polynomials as:

5x2 + 35y - 4

-8x2 - 45y + 3

-3x2 - 10y - 1


Therefore, the subtraction of polynomials: -3x2 - 10y - 1
