Step-by-step explanation:

The initial expression is:


(6u^3+8u^2+6)+(5u^3-6u+4)

To simplify, we need to eliminate the parenthesis, so:


6u^3+8u^2+6+5u^3-6u+4

Then, we need to identify the like terms:

6u³ and 5u³ are like terms

6 and 4 are like terms

Therefore, the simplified expression is:


\begin{gathered} (6u^3+5u^3)+8u^2-6u+(6+4) \\ 11u^3+8u^2-6u+10 \end{gathered}

So, the answer is:
