#17x^9+10x^6+7x+13#

Explanation:

First of all, when you are adding polynamials, you have to add the like terms. For example you can add #2x# and #4x# but not #4x^2#

Since there is no negative or minus sign, you can remove the brackets.

Combine the terms that are similar
#8x^9+9x^9+6x^6+4x^6-2x+9x+6+7#

Therefore combining like terms, you get
#17x^9+10x^6+7x+13#
