3x^2 and 10x^2 are like terms
combine them: 3x^2+10x^2 = 13x^2
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so the simplified expression is: -6x+13x^2
that can be written as 13x^2 - 6x

Okay thanks. DO I need to make a new topic? Or sameo ne?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
either way is fine
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Kk. Next one is 2p+1/2q
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so
\[\Large 2p + \frac{1}{2}q\]
right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what are the instructions
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Same as before Simplify each expression if not possible write simplified.
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
are there any like terms that you see?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
like terms are terms that have the same variable and exponents over the variable
example: 2x and 3x are like terms (both have x) but 2x and 3y are not like terms (one has x, the other has y)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes they are all on this problem, I think I understand what you mean.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so in
\[\Large 2p + \frac{1}{2}q\]
we have no like terms because one has p, while the other has q. You cannot combine them
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
you can't say for instance 2p + 3q = 5p or 2p+3q = 5q
neither are correct or make sense
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay, see this is one confusing lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its simplied than i think lol
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
keep practicing and you'll get the hang of it

-9
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
absolute value represents distance from that number to 0 on the number line
how far is -9 from 0 on the number line?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait oh duh lol would it be 9?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yes it is

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so |-9| = 9
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
|-9| stands for "the absolute value of -9"
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I really appreciate you helping my btw
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
sure thing
OpenStudy (anonymous):
