#(3+2n^4)+(2n^4-2n^2)=color(blue)(4n^4-2n^2+3#

Since this expression has not been set to equal #0#, it cannot be solved, but it can be simplified.

#(3+2n^4)+(2n^4-2n^2)#

Remove brackets and gather like terms.

#(2n^4+2n^4)+(-2n^2)+(3)#

Simplify.

#4n^4-2n^2+3#

The trinomial is written in standard form, which is in ascending order of exponents. There are three terms.
