Answer 2

A letter that holds the place of an unknown, we usually call that a variable right? Like x? Hmmm so that's not it..

Answer 3

A process where if two things are equal, one can be put in the place of the other and nothing will change.

Hmm I believe we call this "Substituting". Putting in place of something else. :D Like a substitute teacher, she fills in for the teacher when she's not there. Make sense? XD
Hmm so it's not that one...

Answer 4

The other two options are a little tricky the way they word them.

D) Describes "like terms"
B) Describes COMBINING like terms.

So it appears to be option D.
