I can do this

ThisGirlPretty:

so here's what I did... (7x^2y^3 + 5x^3y^2 - 3y^3) - (-6x^3y^2 - 4x2^y^3 + y^3) Being that there are two negatives we would do -6x^3y^2 x -1, -4x2^y3 x -1, and y^3 x -1? right? >~<

silvernight269:

I’ll send you a pic when I solve this

ThisGirlPretty:

okie dokie, I messed up somewhere though o.o

ThisGirlPretty:

I got 11x^2y^3 + 11x^3y^2 - 4y^3

silvernight269:

How

ThisGirlPretty:

(7x^2y^3 + 5x^3y^2 - 3y^3) - (-6x^3y^2 - 4x^2y^3 + y^3) I multiplied (-6x^3y^2 - 4x^2y^3 + y^3) = (6x^3y^2 + 4x^2y^3 -y^3). Then I combined de like terms and added. 7x^2y^3 + 4x^2y^3 = 11x^2y^3. 5x^3y^2 + 6x^3y^2 = 11x^3y^2. And -3y^3 + -y^3 = -4y^3. Then I connected them all together and got 11x^2y^3 + 11x^3y^2 - 4y^3.

silvernight269:

Do you get how I did it?

ThisGirlPretty:

nu

silvernight269:

Damn

ThisGirlPretty:

._. how did you get the first part: 3x^2y^3

silvernight269:

I’m soooo sorry I’m a horrible teacher

ThisGirlPretty:

no no its fine haha

silvernight269:

I’m sorry 😢😭

ThisGirlPretty:

don't be, at least you tried ^_^!

silvernight269:

😭😭😭

TheSmartOne:

So do you understand that a - (-b) = a + b

TheSmartOne:

Like let's start with the basics

TheSmartOne:

And then just pay attention to the units. You can't add apples and oranges. so like x^2y^3 make that an orange and just add all the oranges x^3y^2 is an apple and y^3 is a banana like don't get confused between the exponents

ThisGirlPretty:

Wait, I do 7x^2y^3 + 4x^2y^3 + -y^3 >~<?

TheSmartOne:

Yes, but you dropped a lot of the other numbers but that 7 and 4 both have oranges!! o; which means you can add them That y^3 is a banana and banana and oranges definitely don't add

TheSmartOne:

I've honestly never taught it this way like using oranges and banana that it makes me sound really crazy but whatever helps you get the point to not add the wrong stuff together

ThisGirlPretty:

Ah okie ouo so 7x^2y^3 + 4x^2y^3? And nu I like the idea
