2. What is the sum or difference? 6x4 – 10x4

OpenStudy (vhtran):

Have you learned PEMDAS before? or order of equation?

OpenStudy (faithspring):

PEMDAS yes I have but this is for polynomials and stuff @vhtran

OpenStudy (vhtran):

From what I see it should be 24-40=-16 using the order of operations o.o but I may be looking at the problem incorrectly >.<

OpenStudy (faithspring):

ohhhhhh 6x^4 – 10x^4.. that's why it's incorrect @vhtran

OpenStudy (vhtran):

XD let me see if I can help

OpenStudy (faithspring):

awesome thank you cx

OpenStudy (vhtran):

\[6x^4-10x^4\]

OpenStudy (vhtran):

Leave the x^4 and simplify

OpenStudy (vhtran):

factor x^4 and solve inside the parenthesis and simplify

OpenStudy (vhtran):

\[x^4(6-10)\]

OpenStudy (faithspring):

so would it be -4x^4?

OpenStudy (vhtran):

that should be correct
