Here while adding the algebraic expressions we need to know that we can only add the like terms.
Like terms are those terms which have the same algebraic factors.
Sum
=(t−t2−14)+(15t3+13+9t−8t2)+(12t2−19−24t)+(4t−9t2+19t3)
=t−t2−14+15t3+13+9t−8t2+12t2−19−24t+4t−9t2+19t3
=(t+9t−24t+4t)+(−t2−8t2+12t2−9t2)+(−14+13−19)+(15t3+19t3)
=−10t−6t2−20+34t3
Hence, the required expression is −10t−6t2−20+34t3.
Given that:
t=−1
On substituting the values we get:
−10t−6t2−20+34t3
=−10×(−1)−6×(−1)2−20+34×(−1)3
=10−6−20−34
=−50
