Which of the terms cannot be combined with the others? -3x 4x2 x 11x

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Try to add them together i.e. -3x+4x^2+x+11x what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

OK, another approach: take out the signs (+/-) and the numbers (1,2,3,4,...) in each term, and write down what're left.

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

for example, -5y^3 -> y^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Write down what are left first

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

This would help you

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Take out the signs and the numbers before each variable, and write down what are left

OpenStudy (anonymous):
