6x^(4)
Because its power is the greatest.

The correct option is 6 X 4.
To arrange in descending order means that you will write the largest value first followed by the other smaller ones. From the question given above, we have the following values:
3x3 = 9
6 x 4 = 24
-2 x 2 = -4 and we have -7x.
Thus, the largest value is 6 x 4.
