@johnweldon1993 5a^2b – 13ab + 7a^3 – 4b how do i put this in descending order when 2 terms have a degree of 3 ?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

i just start it with what it starts with ? 5a^2b

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Hmm good question...let me look it up quick

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

okay :)

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

So we work from the largest exponent first \[\large 7a^3 + 5a^2b -13ab - 4b\] Since 7a^3 has the highest power by itself
