Explanation:

Add the ones with like terms.

which means the ones with things in common.

4/5x^2 + 1/4x^2 i'm adding this first because we have x^2 on both sides.

(4/5 + 1/4)x^2

= (5+16/20)x^2

= (21/20)x^2

the next terms are those with x as common.

(1/4 +- 1/5)x...take the sign into consideration while dealing with the terms within the equations.

=(1/4 - 1/5)x

=(5 - 4/ 20)x

= (1/20)x

= (1 × x) / 20

= x/20.

last ones are the constant terms(numbers)

1/6 + 2/3

=12 + 3 / 18

= 15/18...we can simplify this one as well.

= 5 × 3 / 6 × 3

= 5/6.

Now write all the results as a one equation.

descending order starting from the highest degree which is 6/5x^2 --> 1/20x ---> 5/6.

21/20x^2 + x/20+ 5/6.
