Answer:
[tex]-4ax^4+3ax^3+3ax^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Considering we do not have a value for x, we can only combine the like-terms based on the exponent. Therefore :
There is only one number with a fourth power, we can add this to our final answer.
-4ax^4
There are two numbers with third powers, combine them together :
8ax^3 - 5ax^3
3ax^3
-4ax^4 + 3ax^3
Now for the final numbers, the ones with second powers, combine them aswell :
11ax^2 - 5ax^2 - 3ax^2
6ax^2 - 3ax^2
3ax^2
-4ax^4 + 3ax^3 + 3ax^2
Always remember to rephrase the expression with the highest possible (variable wise) value to the lowest possible value.
