Identify Like Terms: Identify the like terms in the polynomials (2j2+2j+2) and 8j2. The like terms are the terms that contain the same variable raised to the same power. In this case, the like terms are 2j2 and 8j2.
Add Like Terms: Add the like terms 2j2 and 8j2. 2j2+8j2=(2+8)j2=10j2
Bring Down Remaining Terms: Since there are no other terms in 8j2, we can bring down the remaining terms from the first polynomial.The remaining terms are 2j and 2. There are no like terms for these in the second polynomial, so we simply include them in the final expression.10j2+2j+2
Combine All Terms: Combine all the terms to write the final simplified expression.The final simplified expression is 10j2+2j+2.
