Question

How do you simplify `3w^2v^6-6w^3v+9w^3v+2w^3v-9w^2v^6`?

Answer 1

`-6w^2v^6 + 5w^3v`

Explanation:

To simplify this, combine the like terms.

First, color-code the like terms so it's easier to see:
`color(red)(3w^2v^6) quadcolor(blue)(-quad6w^3v) quadcolor(blue)(+quad9^3v) quadcolor(blue)(+quad2w^3v) quadcolor(red)(-quad9w^2v^6)`

Now combine the like terms:
`-6w^2v^6 + 5w^3v`

Hope this helps!
