Answer 1

Given:

The sum of 5x², -7x², 13x², 11x², and -5x²

Concept:

Combining like terms involves adding or subtracting coefficients of the same variable raised to the same power.

Calculation:

We have,

⇒ 5x² + (-7x²) + 13x² + 11x² + (-5x²)

⇒ (5 - 7 + 13 + 11 - 5)x²

⇒ (17)x²

∴ The sum is 17x².

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
