I don't know what your choices are, but if you need to combine your like terms, then this is what you do. You look for the all of the same variables raised to the same powers and combine their coefficients.

Which is equivalent to 6ab%5E2-3ab%2B4a%5E2b%2B5ab-5ab%5E2%2B9a%5E2b?
6ab%5E2-5ab%5E2-3ab%2B5ab%2B4a%5E2b%2B9a%5E2b
%286-5%29ab%5E2%2B%28-3%2B5%29ab%2B%284%2B9%29a%5E2b
1ab%5E2%2B2ab%2B13a%5E2b
highlight%28ab%5E2%2B2ab%2B13a%5E2b%29
Your choice could be in a different order because the combining of integers through addition is commutative.
Happy Calculating!!!
