Question
**Adding Polynomials**

Consider the following expression:

\[
\left( \frac{1}{8}x^4 + \frac{1}{7}x^3 + \frac{1}{6}x^2 + 6 \right) + \left( -\frac{7}{8}x^4 + \frac{5}{7}x^3 - \frac{1}{3}x^2 - 6 \right)
\]

The task is to add these two polynomials together. 

**Steps to Simplify:**

1. Combine like terms for each power of \(x\).
2. Simplify coefficients of like terms.

For example:
- Combine terms with \(x^4\).
- Combine terms with \(x^3\).
- Combine terms with \(x^2\).
- Combine the constant terms.

**Solution:**

The sum is: \[ \boxed{} \] 

(Simplify your answer.)
