Question

I am sorry to ask but i really need help.

Combine like terms.

14z – 27z

Answer 1

The variable terms are both the same (both have just a single z in them), so you just subtract the coefficients: 14 - 27 = -13

Then you tack on the variable z to get the final answer of -13z

Answer 2

No need to be sorry :p

just subtract 27 from 14 and then put a z at the end.

14 - 27 = z, so it's -13z :D

Answer 3

Thank you guys alot

Answer 4

Can you help me with this one is it the same as above

Combine like terms.

8 + 16r – 9r

Answer 5

which 2 terms are the like terms?

Answer 6

16 and 9

Answer 7

close, but the terms are 16r and -9r

Answer 8

the coefficients are 16 and -9

so subtract to get: 16 - 9 = 7

that means 16r - 9r = 7r

Answer 9

meaning 8 + 16r – 9r simplifies to 8 + 7r

Answer 10

so then 7r+6 and that is 13

Answer 11

no you cannot combine 7r and 6 to get 13

Answer 12

oh it would be 7r+8

Answer 13

7r and 6 are NOT like terms

Answer 14

sry i mis typed 6 not 8

Answer 15

8 + 7r is the same as 7r + 8, so yes

Answer 16

thank you again
