@divagirl421 Do you want to learn how to do this on your own?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes please

@skullpatrol

OpenStudy (uri):

Put all x^2 values together,all x^3 values together and all numericals together...

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Then begin by finding out what the words "like terms" mean.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Do you know what "terms" are?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not really

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

In the sum a+b, a and b are called "terms."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooo ok

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

So when two things are added together each of the things is called a "term," got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Ok, so now we need to find out what "like" means in the phrase "like terms."

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

similar terms: two monomials that are exactly alike or are the same except for their numerical coefficients, also called "like terms." Does that^ make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooo yes

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

So, now you should be able to do the question on your own.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you:)

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Thank you for trying to learn.
