What is the sum of the difference?

Alona [7]

Answer:

A. 9x^4 and 3x^5y

Step-by-step explanation:

there are two ways to solve this:

first way:

You can solve this my substituting numbers for x and y in this case i used 2 for x and 3 for y and see which one is equal to the original equations

the second way is the regular way

when you add or subtract numbers with variables and exponents you want to add the constants and add the exponents in this case $5x^{4} +4x^2$ is the same as $(5x+4x)^(4+4)$ = $9x^4$ and you can do the same process for subtraction
