OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

-5 -6x^2 -5x^3
Nnesha (nnesha):
what is -1 times -6x^2 = ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
6x^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
next step?
Nnesha (nnesha):
now combine like terms \[\huge\rm 5x^3 - 6x^2 + 5 - 5 +6x^2 -5x^3\]
listen don't forget signs !!!
and remember if both variables have same exponent then you can combine them otherwise nope!

OpenStudy (anonymous):
so just 10 n 12
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
(5x^3-6x^2 + 5)-(5-6x^2+5x^3)
(5x^3-6x^2 + 5)-(5x^3-6x^2+5)
just like any A-A=0
so is this =?
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
no need distributing
