You can't simplify this equation any further.

Explanation:

In order for the equation to be able to be simplified more, each term would have to have the exact same variable. For example, if the equation was 4y2+6y2, we could simplify it down to 10y2. However, this is not the case. We have y2 as the variable for one term and y4 as the variable for the other term. Therefore, the two terms in the equation are not like terms and cannot be added, which means that this equation can't be simplified any further.
