| ① | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 4x^5+9x^4+9x^2-6 \right) = -4x^5-9x^4-9x^2+6 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{5x^5} + \color{red}{13x^4} \color{green}{-11x^2} + \color{orange}{11} \color{blue}{-4x^5} \color{red}{-9x^4} \color{green}{-9x^2} + \color{orange}{6} = \\ = \color{blue}{x^5} + \color{red}{4x^4} \color{green}{-20x^2} + \color{orange}{17} $$ |
