Question

combine like terms
7p^5+3p^3+5p^5+7p^3

Answer 1

7p^5+5p^5+ 3p^3+7p^3=12p^5+10p^3

Answer 2

If they have the same power/exponent then the u can add the coefficients(numbers) in front of the term.

Answer 3

well im working with polynomials and i am so confused i dont even know how to do this

Answer 4

basically p^5 and all the other p^5 can be combined because they have the same exponent

Answer 5

(7p^5 + 5p^5) + (3p^3 +7p^3)
in the brackets, u see they have the same exponent so the numbers in front can be added together.

Answer 6

7(p^5)+5(p^5)= 12p^5

Answer 7

ok that helps understand a lil bit more
