OpenStudy (amistre64):

what are like terms?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be 9n and 8n

OpenStudy (amistre64):

correct, or more precisely, +9n and -8n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-7 +9n-8n combine 9n and -8n this leaves you with n so your answer is n-7

OpenStudy (amistre64):

-7 + (9-8)n is the solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if i am combining 9n - 8n would i add them or subtract them

OpenStudy (amistre64):

combine them; 9-8 doesnt really care what you call it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (amistre64):
