\[10x^2 -y + x^2 = \]
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
DO you have any like terms?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[x^2\]
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
yup so just combine those
OpenStudy (anonymous):
take all x terms on one side.. and all x terms on another.. u r done.. and 10+1=11

x^4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so its 11??
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
no, you don't have to multiply notice, that the terms are just like your 4ab and 3ab from last time
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok x^2 will cancel your left with 10+y right so its 10y....???
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
only this time we have \(10x^2\) and \((1)x^2\)

no, ignore what that other guy said
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so its 11Y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im so confused
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
no, you cannot combine x and y. They are different variables
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay
im asking what is the final answer

I'm making you figure it out. what is 3b+4b=?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
7b^2
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
no, you don't multiply the variable. just think if i had 3b+4b that is the same as (b+b+b)+(b+b+b+b)=?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so then it just 7b
OpenStudy (anonymous):
omg im so confused

yup, now for ours we have 10x^2 that is the same as \([x^2+x^2+x^2+x^2+x^2+x^2+x^2+x^2+x^2+x^2]+[x^2]=?\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ty i got it now
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
ok, thanks for working through it
