Answer:

First trinomial:


5x+6y+7

Second trinomial:


2x+y+1

Sum:


7x+7y+8

Difference:


3x+5y+6

Explanation:

Let our first trinomial be:


5x+6y+7

And let our second trinomial be:


2x+y+1

The sum would be:


\begin{gathered} 5x+6y+7+(2x+y+1) \\ \rightarrow5x+6y+7+2x+y+1 \\ \\ \Rightarrow7x+7y+8 \end{gathered}

And the difference would be:


\begin{gathered} 5x+6y+7-(2x+y+1) \\ \\ \rightarrow5x+6y+7-2x-y-1 \\ \\ \Rightarrow3x+5y+6 \end{gathered}
