Adding/Subtracting Polynomials
Directions: Simplify the following polynomials by combining like terms. If the polynomial
cannot be simplified, write simplest form.
1) 2s + 3d + 3s + 2d

2) 3f 5g f 2g

3) 5z + x + 9

4) -p 2 - 2p + 4 2p 2 + 2

5) w 2 + 3 5

6) (4y 2 - 6y) (y 2 + 3y + 7)

7) 2c 4v + 5c 3

8) 8a + 7 + 5b + 3c

9) 3x + 5x + 7x 2 - 6

10) (12 4x + 5x 2 ) (x 2 - x 7)

11) Subtract 4x2 6x -5 from 11x2 + 7x 9.

12) Subtract -5a2 6a -5 from -8a2 + 9a 21.

Directions: Find the perimeter of the following figures:
