Starting with the expression:


(3x^2-10x+4)+(10x^2-5x+8)

Ignore the parenthesis, since their coefficients are equal to 1:


=3x^2-10x+4+10x^2-5x+8

Use the commutative property of addition to change the order of the terms without changing the result of the sum. Bring like terms together:


=3x^2+10x^2-10x-5x+4+8

Add like terms:


=13x^2-15x+12

Therefore:


(3x^2-10x+4)+(10x^2-5x+8)=13x^2-15x+12
