Consolidating Resource Allocation Models

An operations manager needs to combine two resource allocation models, represented by the expressions 3x24xy+5y2{}3x^2 - 4xy + 5y^2 and 2x2xy{}2x^2 - xy. To find the total allocation, these two expressions must be summed. Recall the specific procedure for adding polynomials and state the three main steps to simplify this sum, along with the final simplified expression.
