Answer 1

Answer:

-2x+17 and degree of the polynomial is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial’s degree is the highest or the greatest power of a variable in a polynomial equation. The degree indicates the highest exponential power in the polynomial (ignoring the coefficients).

Addition of polynomials can be solved in two methods.

(i) By arranging the like terms together and then add.

(ii) By arranging expressions in lines so that the like terms with their signs are one below the other i.e. like terms are in same vertical column and then add the different groups of like terms.
