Question

combine like terms.
$-1 + 4x^{3} - 6 + 7y^{2} + 5 + 6x^{3} - 4x^{3}$

Explanation:

Step1: Group constant terms

Constants: \(-1 - 6 + 5\)

Step2: Group \(x^3\) terms

\(x^3\) terms: \(4x^3 + 6x^3 - 4x^3\)

Step3: Keep \(y^2\) term

\(y^2\) term: \(7y^2\)

Step4: Simplify constants

\(-1 - 6 + 5 = -2\)

Step5: Simplify \(x^3\) terms

\(4x^3 + 6x^3 - 4x^3 = 6x^3\)

Step6: Combine all terms

\(-2 + 6x^3 + 7y^2\)

Answer:

\(6x^3 + 7y^2 - 2\)
