The first picture is the equation to be simplified. The rest are the answers

Answer 1

5x³y² + xy

Explanation:

(3x³y² - 5xy^4 - 2xy) + (2x³y² + 5xy^4 + 3xy) =

Since the operation between the expressions is addition, the parentheses are unnecessary and can be dropped.

= 3x³y² - 5xy^4 - 2xy + 2x³y² + 5xy^4 + 3xy

Now, combine like terms.

= 5x³y² + xy
