Combine like terms.

Answer 4

In this case, the parenthesis can be dropped because there are no like terms.

Answer 5

Yes, it is combining like terms

Simply collect like terms.
the x^2's would be added as the operation indicates, as well as the x's, and the constants:
thus: 6x + 5x - 8
11 x - 8

Answer 7

Lol, dang it Katrina, taking my questions :D

Answer 8

Lol >:P

Answer 9

Pretty much you add your x's and the constants (ones without any x's), and voila! Answer is there. Be sure though, that when doing problems like these, x^2 is different from x. So they are their own little thing.
