Question

Simplify the sum.(6u^3 + 8u^2 + 6) + (5u^3 - 6u + 4)

Answer 1

Explanation:

The initial expression is:

$(6u^3+8u^2+6)+(5u^3-6u+4)$

To simplify, we need to eliminate the parenthesis, so:

$6u^3+8u^2+6+5u^3-6u+4$

Then, we need to identify the like terms:

6u³ and 5u³ are like terms

6 and 4 are like terms

Therefore, the simplified expression is:

$\begin{gathered} (6u^3+5u^3)+8u^2-6u+(6+4) \\ 11u^3+8u^2-6u+10 \end{gathered}$

So, the answer is:
