what is the sum or difference 19x^3-13x^3

OpenStudy (welshfella):

these are like terms so its like subtracting 13 eggs from 19 eggs - answer is 6 eggs

OpenStudy (raiders88):

dude no offence but what the (beep) is that children math solving XD

OpenStudy (welshfella):

so for 'eggs' substitute 'x^3'

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

SIMPLIFY 19x3−13x3 =19x3+−13x3 Then, combine like terms =19x3+−13x3 =(19x3+−13x3) =6x3 Answer: =6x3

I guess it is a bit childish but it does help some people to realise how simple this really is.
