HELP !! GIVING OUTR MEDALS ;) NEED ANSWERS NOW !! In the expression 2a + 3b - 4c, 2a, 3b, and -4c are examples of _____ A. Terms B. Operation C. Equations D. Like Terms

OpenStudy (igreen):

Terms = Numbers/Variables separated by Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, or Division signs. Operations = Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, or Division Equations = A group of terms with an equal sign(=) Like Terms = Terms that have the same variable or no variable. (Ex: 2a and 32a, 5 and 2)

OpenStudy (igreen):

So which one do you think it is? @gxldmouth

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D.

OpenStudy (igreen):

No. 2a, 3b, and -4c all have 3 different variables, so they are not like terms(a, b, and c).

OpenStudy (igreen):

There's only one option that makes sense now that you have eliminated the last one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A?
