Question

What is the sum or difference 10y^10-14y^10

Answer 1

The two monomial have the same variable to the same power so you just subtract the 14 from 10:


`10y^(10)-14y^(10)\\\\(10-14)y^(10)\\\\-4y^(10)`

Answer 2

The required solution is
`-4y^(10)`.

Explanation:

The given expression is

`10y^(10)-14y^(10)`

Take out the common factor
`y^(10)` from both terms.

`y^(10)(10-14)`

`y^(10)(-4)`

`-4y^(10)`

Therefore the required solution is
`-4y^(10)`.
