Question

Has Anyone seen one of these problems? I will attach in a min!!!

Answer 1

There you go!!!!

Answer 2

-22u^2-13. hahaha. simple algebra. :)

Answer 3

Whats this mean?^

Answer 4

do you know how to combine and what are like terms ?

Answer 5

Is it a Multiplication symbol?

Answer 6

thats an exponent

like 2^3 means multiplying 2 by itself , 3 times!
2^3 = 2*2*2

similarly 10^4 = 10*10*10*10

got this ?

Answer 7

And I know like terms and am getting confused on the combining part do they want me to combine both parts? And yes I do ty for explaining that.

Answer 8

ok, so like terms are -10u^2 and -12u^2, right ?
you can combine only these,
so whats
-10u^2-12u^2 = (-10-12)u^2 = .... ?

Answer 9

Ok I am confused. :( Sorry not an algebra wizzard.Lol!!!

Answer 10

which part are you confused ?

Answer 11

Ok How about this I will tell you what I understand and you can fix or fill in the gaps

Answer 12

fair enough :)

Answer 13

For this problem -10u^2-12u^2 = (-10-12)u^2 =

First my lesson tells me to remove my paraentheses
Next I would go 10u^2- 10u^2
then I would go 12u2^12u2
Answer those then wouldn't my Ansur be 0u2?

Answer 14

(-10u^2 -13 ) -12u^2

removing the parantheses : -10 u^2 -13-12u^2

now what are the like terms from these 3 terms ?

Answer 15

-10u^2 and -12u^2

Answer 16

yes, now the combining part
-10u^2 -12u^2
here the "u^2" is common part, right ?
so, i will kick it out,
u^2 (-10 -12)

this is most important step, make sure you get it...

Answer 17

Ok Ty Mod Hartnn you get e medal. :D

Answer 18

my medals is that you understand properly :)

Answer 19

Hartnn can I mke a highly reccomend suggestion?

Answer 20

sure, go ahead

Answer 21

I think we should be able to medal more than 1 response. If I could do that u would have a medal from me on this whole conversation.

Answer 22

personally , i don't care about medals. i am here to help others with their math because i like to do it. But those who care about medals and stuff, for them this idea can be useful, ut they can misuse it too, to shoot up their SS and it would be difficult to moderate that. The current system of medals is well tested and fair too.
