What are you trying to do? Solve for x? If so, normally you'd combine like terms. So, if you had
3x^2+4x^2+5x^3 you could combine
3x^2 &
4x^2 only because they have the same exponent. You'd get
7x^2, plus the
5x^3. The end equation would be
5x^3+7x^2. In your equation, you have no like exponents. Your equation is as simple as it can get.
