Can Anyone help me learn how to solve this i need to write it out step by step but idk how. They said simplify then write in standard form. (6s^4 + 7s^2 + 7) + (8s^4 - 11s^2 +9s) I got 14s^4 -4s^2 +9s+7 when simplified but i used a calculater, can anyone help me just write this all out.

6s^4 + 7s^2 + 7 + 8s^4 - 11s^2 + 9s
combine like terms
6s^4 + 8s^4 = 14s^4
7s^2 - 11s^2 = - 4s^2
7 -- there is no other like term
9s -- there is no other like term

In standard form : 14s^4 - 4s^2 + 9s + 7
