So confused! I have the answer, but can't understand the explanation. Please help...
A polynomial expression is show below.
(mx^3+3)(2x^2+5x+2)-(8x^5+20x^4)
The expression is simplified to 8x^3+6x^2+15x+6. What is the value of m?
The answer is 4 because in the simplified answer, there is no x^5 we assume that
2mx^5 - 8x^5 = 0x^5
2m x^5=8x^5
2m=8
m=4

(mx³ + 3)(2x² + 5x + 2) - (8x⁵ + 20x⁴) = 8x³ + 6x² + 15x + 6
(mx³(2x² + 5x + 2) + 3(2x² + 5x + 2)) - (8x⁵ + 20x⁴) = 8x³ + 6x² + 15x + 6
(mx³(2x²) + mx³(5x) + mx³(2) + 3(2x²) + 3(5x) + 3(2)) - (8x⁵ + 20x⁴) = 8x³ + 6x² + 15x + 6
(2mx⁵ + 5mx⁴ + 2mx³ + 6x² + 15x + 6) - (8x⁵ + 20x⁴) = 8x³ + 6x² + 15x + 6
(2mx⁵ + 5mx⁴ + 2mx³ + 6x² + 15x + 6) - 8x⁵ - 20x⁴ = 8x³ + 6x² + 15x + 6                                                                                 - 6x²  - 15x  - 6                         - 6x²  - 15x  - 6
                    (2m(x⁵) + 5m(x⁴) + 2m(x³)) - 8x⁵ - 20x⁴ = 8x³
                                (2x⁵ + 5x⁴ + 2x³)m - 8x⁵ - 20x⁴ = 8x³
                               10x⁵ - 15x⁴)m = 8x
