Hello!
You can only add variables with the same base and exponent
8u^3 + 4u^3 = 12u^3
8u^2 + 0 = 8u^2
0 + -6u = -6u
6 + 3 = 9
Put the sums together
12u^3 + 8u^2 - 6u + 9
The answer is

Hope this helps!
Answer:
-16
Step-by-step explanation:
(-3,5). (2,-3)
x1,y1. x2,y2
y2-y1. -3-5. -8
--------- = ------- = ----- =8 =m
x2-x1. 2-3. -1
plug the rest in
Step 1: Create an equation with a slope of 6
y=6x+b
Step 2: Substitute x and y by with the point (1,2) and solve the equation for b
y=6x+b
2=6(1)
2=6
2=6+b
b=-4
Step 3: Substitute -4 for b in the equation
y=6x+b
y=6x+(-4)
y=6x-4
The equation that has a slope of 6 and passes through the point (1,2) in point-slope form:
y=6x-4
okay so you have 1/4 and 5 1/2
make 5 1/2 a improper fraction
so you now have 1/4 and 11/2
now do 

I hope this helps you
I feel bad study island is the worst!
