Question

In the following exercises, add or subtract the monomials. 

$4y^3+6y^3-y-5y$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

On simplifying the expression, we get 

$10y^3-6y$

Step 1. Given information

$\begin{array}{l}\text{The given expression is}\\ 4y^3+6y^3-y-5y\\ \text{We have to add or subtract the given expression as applicable.}\end{array}$

Step 2. Simplify

$\begin{array}{l}\text{Consider the given expression}\\ \Rightarrow 4y^3+6y^3-y-5y=\left(4+6\right)y^3+\left(-1-5\right)y\\ =10y^3-6y\end{array}$
