Answer:

Option B (n³ + 4n² + 8n - 16)

Explanation:

In this question we have to add two expressions given

( 2n³ + 4n² - 7 ) and ( -n³ + 8n - 9 )

( 2n³ + 4n² - 7 ) + ( -n³ + 8n - 9 )

Now we group the similar terms

( 2n³ - n³ ) + 4n² - ( 7 + 9 ) 8n

= n³ + 4n² - 16 + 8n

= n³ + 4n² + 8n - 16

Option B (n³ + 4n² + 8n - 16) is the correct answer.
