Do you see any like terms?

OpenStudy (phebe):

no

OpenStudy (phebe):

yes 35

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

like terms are terms that have the same variables example: 7x and 3x are like terms because they have an x on them

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I don't see 35 anywhere

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

OpenStudy (phebe):

|dw:1402525218075:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so we cannot add them we cannot say 7+5b = 12b or 7+5b = 12

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the 7 needs a 'b' or the 5b needs the 'b' dropped for those two terms to be like terms

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Are 5b and 1 like terms?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so what are the like terms?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
