It looks intimidating but it's really easy. Just add up the like terms. e.g. 7xy^2 is a like term with -4xy^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok so the answer is c?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
right???
OpenStudy (onepieceftw):
No, add 5y^3 to -4y^3
then add 7xy^2 to -4xy^2
then add 10x to -8x
and then add 9 to 4
OpenStudy (onepieceftw):
You aren't adding the exponents, so for example x^2 + 4x^2 would just be 5x^2

oh
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so its a or b right????
OpenStudy (onepieceftw):
You shouldn't have to guess. 57^3 -4y^3 is y^3
7xy^2 -4xy^2 is 3xy^2
10x-8x is 2x
and 4+9 is 13
OpenStudy (onepieceftw):
5y^3 not 57^3 lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
