Answer:

A

Explanation:

Shift the bottom trinomial to where like terms match up where it looks like this.

2x²+5x+4

5x²+8x

To make it easier to understand add a placeholder +0 to the trinomial so everything matches up so it looks

like this.

2x²+5x+4

5x²+8x+0

Finally, add like terms and you should end up with this. 7x²+13x+4
