You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Personally what I would do it find all of the similar powers and combine them. For example, I would combine 3/4x^2 and 1/4^2 to make "x^2." (3/4 + 1/4 = 4/4 =1.)
We would also combine 27x and 31x. (27+31=58)
Combine 45 and 60 (45+60=105)
After combining the exponents, we should have something like this:
x%5E2%2B58x%2B105
I'm sorry about my first response. This is my first time answering something and I'm trying to figure out some stuff.
