I can help
We can only combine these terms: 5y^2 - 8y^2 Can you do that?
Just subtract the whole numbers and keep the variable with the exponent.
no I cant sorry
Subtract 5 - 8, what do you get?
iGreen... why do you always steal my questionsssss??..
Lol
You have to find like terms- this means analyzing the variables (\( x~,~y\)) etc and compare the power of their exponents.
3y^2
If they're the same, such as \(\color{red}{y^2}+3\color{red}{y^2}\) then you can add them.
Nice work, but 5 - 8 isn't 3
-3 sorry
Yes, so it's -3y^2
We are left with -3y^2, 4y, and 2y^3 Do you see any other like terms?
no i dont
Good :) So we just arrange from highest exponent to lowest: \(2y^3 - 3y^2 + 4y\)
