Question

Answer 1

please explain before u go giving me answers lol or i will not understand

Answer 2

You can't add 8x^3 and 4x because they aren't like terms. So there's nothing you can do here.

Answer 3

these are not like terms, so you cannot add them

Answer 4

i mean you can say you would like to add them by writing \(8x^3+4x\) but you cannot combine them in to one term

Answer 5

uhm the 3 is an exponent just in case u dont know

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8

no i believe you, it is just that you cannot add them in to one term. perhaps that is what you are supposed to say
