Answer 1

^ is to the power of by the way

Answer 2

collect like terms and then simplify

Answer 3

Is 2y a like term of y squared and 3y squared?

Answer 4

Would it be 3y^3+2y or 4y^3+2y or something different?

Answer 5

okay. sorry for the late reply, i was helping someone else.
remember this.
the coefficient in front like 2y, 3y simply means y+y =2y y+y+y=3y
the the power like y^2 and y^3 means y*y=y^2 y*y*y=y^3
2y^2 means anything like 2*y*y or 2*y^2 or y^2+y^2

Answer 6

only terms with variables to the same power can be added or subtracted.
2y+y= 3y
2y^2 +3y^2 +5y= 5y^2+5y
