Descending order of exponents

Write the polynomial in descending order of exponents. -5x² + 5x + 5x³ + 1

Descending order of exponents means start listing the terms with the highest exponent and then work down to the lowest exponent, or no variable/exponent.

-5x² + 5x + 5x³ + 1
= 5x³ - 5x² + 5x + 1 {wrote in descending order of exponents}
