LL terms below that are like. A. 3x B. 7xy C. y D. -100x E. F. 14x that are the like terms
Like terms are terms that have the same variables and the same exponent over the variables.
E. is X2
So for example, if you have 3x+5y+2z+2x The like terms in that expression above are 3x and 2x
A.B.D.E.F
Another example: 3x^2 + 6x + 9 + 11x^2+15x 3x^2 and 11x^2 are one pair of like terms 6x and 15x are another pair of like terms
those are all like terms
A and B are NOT like terms 3x and 7xy have different variable terms
However, A and D are like terms since they have the same variable term (x)
okay thank you!!
yw
it makes sense though because there both X so there alike
2. Select ALL terms below that are like. A. -10x B. 8 C. -15 D. 1,000 E. 8y F. 0
i'm glad it does keep in mind that terms such as 3x and 7x^2 are NOT like terms since the exponents are different (even though they both have an x)
another note: any terms without variables at all are like terms
so 8, -15, 1000, and 0 are all like terms
8 and 8y
no, one has no variable...the other has the variable y
oh okay the numbers are all like because they are regular not with letters at end
exactly
Simplify: 5x - 7 + x - 4 - 8x
the like terms are what?
