(1-y^3+2y^5)-(2+y^3-y^5)

Answer 2

for my answer i got y^5 is that correct?

Answer 3

Combine like terms:

Answer 4

2y^5-(-y^5) = 2y^5+y^5= 3y^5

Answer 5

(-y^3)-(+y^3) = (-y^3)-(y^3)=-2y^3; 1-2=-1

Answer 6

so we get: 3y^5 - 2y^3 -1

Answer 7

It can be confusing, it took me a second to make sure I didn't get signs mixed up
