Identify Like Terms: Identify the like terms in both polynomials and prepare to combine them.(8w2+8)+(w2+3w+8)=8w2+w2+3w+8+8
Combine Like Terms: Combine the like terms, which are the terms with the same variable and exponent. 8w2+w2=9w23w is the only term with w, so it remains as is.8+8=16
Write Final Expression: Write the final expression with the combined like terms. 9w2+3w+16
