What expression is obtained by adding \((6u+2v)\) and \((3u+5v)\)?
Add like terms separately: \(6u+3u=9u\) and \(2v+5v=7v\). Therefore, the sum is \(9u+7v\). Option B incorrectly multiplies the different variables \(u\) and \(v\), which is not done when adding expressions. Exam tip: add the coefficients of terms with the same variable and keep the variable unchanged.
