Answer with Explanation: We have to simplify the polynomials (1) to (5) one by one, the simplification is shown as follows, step by step:

Simplification for (1):


(1)\rightarrow5xy+7xy\Rightarrow(5+7)xy\Rightarrow12xy

Simplification for (2):


(2)\rightarrow4z^4-2z+z+1-5\Rightarrow4z^4-z-4

Simplification for (3):


(3)\rightarrow8p^6-2p^6-3p+4p+6\Rightarrow6p^6+p+6

Simplification for (4):


\begin{gathered} (4)\rightarrow(12ab-3bc)-(13ab+4bc)\Rightarrow12ab-3bc-13ab-4bc\Rightarrow-ab-7bc \\ \end{gathered}

Simplification for (5):


(5)\rightarrow(x^5-5x+1)-(x^5-6x+2)\Rightarrow x^5-5x+1-x^5+6x-2\Rightarrow x-1
