(1.3t3 + 0.4t2 – 24t) + (8 – 18t + 0.6t2)

In adding polynomials, make sure that each term is grouped together.

1.3t³ + 0.4t² - 24t
+ 0.6t² - 18t + 8
1.3t³ + 1.0t² - 42t + 8

In a polynomial equation, arrangement of each term is dependent on the exponential number. It should be from the highest exponent to the lowest.
