Ok . Combine the like terms to simplify the expression: 9 + 3 + 17xy2 + 8y3 + 10x –13xy2 – 9x – 6y3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like terms mean you can only add things that are the same type. It's like the saying (you can't add apples and oranges). Numbers can be added to numbers if they stand alone. 8y^3 and -6y^3 can be grouped together. Pretend the y^3 things are apples. 17xy^2 and -13xy^2 can be grouped together. Does that make it clearer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

combine the like terms add 9+3 12 +17xy2 + 8y3 + 10x –13xy2 – 9x – 6y3 next add 17xy2 + 13xy2 you get 4xy^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12+4xy^2+8y^3+10x-9x-6y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9 + 3 = 12. First you group things together, then you add or subtract them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Combine means they want you to group them and then simplify by adding or subtracting the ones you can.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got it. Thanks
