Answer:


8w^2 - 7w + 7

Explanation:

Hello!

The question is basically asking to add the two polynomials.

We can combine the like terms. Like terms are terms with the same variable that are raised to the same power.

Like terms in these equations:

  • 7w² and w²
  • 4w and -11w
  • -6 and 13

Combine:

  • 7w² + w² = 8w²
  • 4w + (-11w) = -7w
  • (-6) + (13) = 7

The simplified form is
8w^2 - 7w + 7.
