The bases and exponents must be the same for the coefficients to be manipulated like this.
\(ex. a \)

\(x^{5} + 3x^{5} = 4x^{5}\)

\(ex. b\)
The below problem cannot have addition because there are different exponents.
\(3x^{2} + 7x^{5}\)

\(3x^{2} + 7x^{5} = 3x^{2} + 7x^{5}\)

\(ex. c\)

\(5x - 2x = 3x\)

\(ex. d\)
The below problem has different bases so cannot have subtraction.
\(3x - y \)

\(3x - y = 3x - y\)
