Simplify: 7x^2+2x^2.. I tried... :(

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

first ask yourself: are 7x^2 and 2x^2 like terms or common terms? yes? or no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

they are like terms

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so because they are like terms, you just add the coefficients (ie the numbers out front)
