Simplify. -10m+2m^4-13m-20m^4
(do i have to add the coefficients)
and
simplify. ( 2/3 p^4 y^3) (y^4 s^5) (6p^2 s^3)

First one:

you can add -10m and -13m but you can't add -10m and 2m^4 becuase the powers aren't the same so

when adding the like terms
look at the:
powers, (x^3 adds with x^3)
placehloder letter (x adds with x and y adds with y and so on)

-10m+2m^4-13m-20m^4
powers: m^1 and M^4
placeholders: all m

add
-10m-13m+2m^4-20m^4
-23m-18m^4

second one:
when multiplying exponents, you add with like
so if you multipliy
x^2yz^3 times x^4y^2z^2 thne you would get x^6y^3z^5
when multiply with coeficients
2x^2yz^3 times 4x^4y^2z^2=8x^6y^3z^5
so using associative property a(bc)=(ab)c
2/3 times p^4 times y^3 times y^4 times s^5 times 6 times p^2 times s^3
group like terms

(2/3 times 6) times (p^4 times p^2) times (y^3 times y^4) times (s^5 times s^3)
(4) times (p^6) times (y^7) times (s^8)
4p^6y^7s^8

The answer is -pie over 2
