you're just giving me the answer not even gonna explain? O.o @Mertsj

OpenStudy (mertsj):

x^5 and 4x^5 are like terms. Add them by adding the coefficients. The coefficients are 1 and 4

OpenStudy (mertsj):

7x^3 and -2x^2 are like terms. Add them by adding the coefficients which are 7 and -2. 7+-2=5 so 7x^2+(-2x^3)=5x^3

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Add the constant terms which are -9 and 13. -9+13=4
