Answer 1

Answer:   14s^4 - 7s^2 + 15

====================================================

Work Shown:

(12s^4-6s^2+4s)+(6s^4-4s+27)-(4s^4+s^2+12)

12s^4-6s^2+4s+6s^4-4s+27-4s^4-s^2-12

(12s^4+6s^4-4s^4)+(-6s^2-s^2)+(4s-4s)+(27-12)

14s^4-7s^2+0s+15

14s^4-7s^2+15

Note: don't forget to distribute the negative to every term in the last parenthesis
