Question

Simplify: 12a4 + (-29a4)​

Answer 1

Answer:

= $-17a^{4}$

Step by Step Explanation:

For this question, we must combine like terms.

$= 12a^{4} + -29a^{4}$

$= (12a^{4} + -29a^{4})$

Now, we must flip the equation around and subtract.

Keep the variables and exponents where they are.

$= -29a^{4} - 12a^{4} = 7a^{4}$

We now have our answer.
