ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION OF POLYNOMIALS

Title
I. Introduction:

This module is designed and written to help you master the addition
and subtraction of polynomials. The scope of this module covers many
different learning situations and the language used comes in the diverse
vocabulary level of students. Lessons are arranged in standard sequence of
the course but the order may be different from the textbook you are using.

II. MELC (with code):

Adds and subtracts polynomials.

Code: M7AL-lId-2 (MELC page. 45)

III. Strategy:

A. Explore:

A. Let’s Remember: Simple Recall

Identify the similar terms below and explain. Number 1 is done for you. Continue
answering number 2 to 5.

Given Polynomials Similar Terms Explanations

- they have same
variable and

A. Let’s Connect: Group Me!

Group the similar terms you just have identified on Simple Recall Activity.
Number 1 is done for you. Continue answering number 2 to 5.

Given Polynomial Group the Similar Terms

5. 6r2 - 8r2 + 10r2 + 6r + 16r

B. Learn:

Addition of polynomials is just the same in combining like or similar

terms. You just have to group or associate first the similar terms by enclosing
them in the parentheses before combining them. If they are already grouped
simply remove the parenthesis, then combine the similar terms.

You can also add polynomials horizontally or vertically.

In adding polynomials using Horizontal Method, the expressions are

arranged and grouped/ associated horizontally.

Example 1: Horizontal Method

Add (4a -7b ) by (6a + 3b).

Step 1:
Identify the In this example, the similar terms ( 4a -7b ) +(6a + 3b)

encircled (-7b and 3b).

Step 2: The similar terms4a and 6a, and

Group the similar -7b and 3b are enclosed in
terms. parentheses. (4a + 6a) + (-7b +3b)

Step 3: In adding, apply the rules on

Add the similar addition of integers where: 4a + 6a + (-7b) +3b
terms. * 4 + 6 = 10 (Add directly,since 10a + (-4b)
they have the same sign and copy
the variable a.)
* -7 + 3 = - 4 (Subtract them, since
they have different sign and keep
the sign of the larger integer before
copying the variable a. )
Step 4: In algebra, when two operations 10a + ( - 4b)
The sum of are involved together in an
(4a -b) + expression (see that box), apply 10a – 4b
(6a+3b). the rules in multiplying integers:
(+)(+)=+ (+)(-)= -
(-) (-)=+ (-)(+)= -
That is why, the answer becomes
10a – 4b.

Aside from adding horizontally, we can also do it vertically. In Vertical

Method, the expressions are arranged in column and the similar terms are
aligned vertically.

Let’s Do Addition and Subtraction
1. Add vertically: (3x + 8) + ( 4x – 3 )
(3x + 8)

+ ( 4x – 3 )

7x + 5

2. Add horizontally: ( 8a – 5) + ( 3a + 2)
= (8a + 3a) + (-5 + 2)

= 3a – 3

3. Subtract horizontally: (7x – 8 ) – (2x + 4)

= (7x – 8 ) + (-2x - 4)

= ( 7x – 2x) + ( -8 -4)

= 5x - 12

4. Subtract vertically:(5y +9 ) – (8y – 2)
