Simplify?
(a+3a^2+2a^3)-(a^4-a^3)
(a+3a^2+2a^3)-1(a^4-a^3) distribute -1 to (a^4-a^3)

a + 3a^2 + 2a^3 - a^4 + a^3 Combine like terms (terms with the same exponent

a + 3a^2 + 2a^3 - a^4 + a^3
a + 3a^2 + 3a^3 - a^4
-a^4 + 3a^3 + 3a^2 + a Arrange the terms in descending order
Highest exponent should be written first in this case
