In simplifying polynomials, we need to remember
that only like terms can be added or subtracted to each other. Also, the order
of solving the basic operators should be followed which is PEMDAS.
3x2y2 − 5xy2 − 3x2y2 + 2x2
The first and the thrid term is equal to zero thus the polynomial is:
− 5xy2
+ 2x2
The polynomial has two terms with a degree of three.
