This is a polynomial addition problem, so the structure comes from matching terms with exactly the same power of x. We’ll group the fourth-power terms, squared terms, and constants, then add only the coefficients inside each group while keeping each exponent unchanged. That produces one simplified polynomial without mixing unlike degrees.
