Question

simplify.

\\(3x^2 y^3 - 2x^2) + (-x^3 + 4x^2 y^3 - 6x^2)\\

Explanation:

Remove parentheses

$$ 3x^2y^3 - 2x^2 - x^3 + 4x^2y^3 - 6x^2 $$

Group like terms

$$ (3x^2y^3 + 4x^2y^3) - x^3 + (-2x^2 - 6x^2) $$

Combine coefficients

$$ 7x^2y^3 - x^3 - 8x^2 $$

Answer:

\(7x^2y^3 - x^3 - 8x^2\)
