| ① | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 9+7x-x^4 \right) = -9-7x+x^4 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ \, \color{blue}{ \cancel{7x}} \,+ \color{green}{x^4} + \color{orange}{10} \color{orange}{-9} \, \color{blue}{ -\cancel{7x}} \,+ \color{green}{x^4} = \color{green}{2x^4} + \color{orange}{1} $$ |
