OpenStudy (uh60blackhawk):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (uh60blackhawk):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

really?

OpenStudy (uh60blackhawk):

will 4*2= 8 and 4*4=16 so (8x-16)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and thats where im stuck because i dont know what x is :/

OpenStudy (uh60blackhawk):

thats all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you don't add them because they are not like terms, see one has an x, this means you cant add to the other because the other doesn't have x

OpenStudy (uh60blackhawk):

look at your multiple choice thats the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i subtract it then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
