Assignment:
\bold{Simplify \ \left(x^4+x^3+x^2+x\right)-\left(x^4-x^3+x^2-x\right)}

<><><><><>

Answer:
\boxed{\bold{2x^3+2x}}

<><><><><>

Explanation:
\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow

<><><><><>

[ Step One ] Remove Parenthesis (a) = a


\bold{x^4+x^3+x^2+x-\left(x^4-x^3+x^2-x\right)}

[ Step Two ] Rewrite
\bold{-\left(x^4-x^3+x^2-x\right)}


\bold{-x^4+x^3-x^2+x}

[ Step Three ] Rewrite Equation


\bold{x^4+x^3+x^2+x-x^4+x^3-x^2+x}

[ Step Four ] Simplify
\bold{x^4+x^3+x^2+x-x^4+x^3-x^2+x}


\bold{2x^3+2x}

[ Step Five ] Simplify


\bold{2x^3+2x}
