Please answer using yes or no. And please explain why. Thanks! :)

Answer 1

Answer:

yes they are, you can combine like terms to simplify the problem on the left. If you look at the $-5x^{6}$ and$8x^{6}$ you will notice that they share the same exponents as well as the same variables x that means you can add them together so it you take -5 and add 8 to it you will get 3 giving you the answer $3x^{6}$ . if you repeat the same process for 4x and 2x you will get 4-2 is equal to 2, meaning the equation simplifies to $3x^{6} +2x$ meaning that this expression is equivalent to the expression on the right

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

if you added like-terms the two expressions are equivalent. adding and subtracting, 8-5=3 & 4-2=2 :/
