#-0.002m^7n-0.0133mn^7#

Explanation:

What this question is testing is the concept of combining like terms. Like terms are terms that share the same variables. In this example, you would combing #0.028M67n# with #-0.03M^7# because they both share the same variables. This simplifies to #-0.002m^7n#. Likewise, you would combine #0.0327mn^7# with #-0.046mn^7# because they have the same variables and that would simplify to #-0.0133mn^7# and then you put those two together to get #-0.002m^7n-0.0133mn^7#
