7) (4m2 + 5) + (m2 – m + 6)
= 4m2 + 5 + m2 – m + 6 Remove the parentheses.
= 5m2 – m + 11 Combine like terms.
8) (–10x2 – 3x + 7) – (x2 – 9)
Rewrite subtraction as
= (–10x2 – 3x + 7) + (– x2 + 9) adding the opposite.
= –10x2 – 3x + 7 – x2 + 9 Remove the parentheses.
= –11x2 – 3x + 16 Combine like terms.

9) (7m4 – 2m2) – (5m4 – 5m2 + 8)

Distribute the negative sign.
= 7m4 – 2m2 – 5m4 + 5m2 – 8
Remove the parentheses.
= 2m4 + 3m2 – 8 Combine like terms.

Multiplication of Monomials
 Multiplying Monomials
Any nonzero expression raised to the power
of 0 is equal to 1.

 Multiplying Monomials
To multiply powers with the same base, add
the exponents and keep the base.

Examples:
1) # $ % # & = # ()
