I can't figure out algebra 1 for the life of me. adding and subtracting polynomials and crap. TBH I may need help with it all but no FG to give. So if someone is generous enough to help me through my algebra 1 i'll be happy <3

How can you possibly have trouble adding and subtracting polynomials? It's like having trouble adding 3 plus 6.

Think of it like this. Every variable and exponent is some kind of alcohol and antibiotic.

So 5x^2 is different from 5x because it is 5x SQUARED.

Once you understand that, it's just regular adding and subtracting.

You can't mix alcohol and antibiotics, YOU JUST CAN'T!

Aside from that terrible analogy, I don't know if you can or can't mix those
two; it was just the first thing that came to mind :lol:
