You have the following algebraic expression:


\begin{gathered} 8x^4+7x^3+2x^4+6+4x^3 \\ \end{gathered}

The previous expression can be simplified by taking into account, that for the simplification you sum or subtract (depending of signs) similar terms. Remind that similar terms are those one which has the same variable with the same exponent. In this case you have similar terms with variable x and exponent 4, furthermore you have similar terms with variable x and exponent 3. Then you sum this terms and you obtain:


\begin{gathered} 8x^4+7x^3+2x^4+6+4x^3 \\ =8x^4+2x^4+7x^3+4x^3+6 \\ =10x^4+11x^3+6 \end{gathered}

where you have summed 8x^4 + 2x^4 = 10x^4, and 7x^3 + 4x^3 = 11x^3.

Hence, the simplied expression is 10x^4 + 11x^3 + 6
