Can someone help out?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
please you have to apply the distributive poprty of multipication ove addition, namely:
\[(m-n+k)(m+4n-3k)=\]
\[=m(m+4n-3k)-n(m+4n-3k)+k(m+4n-3k)=...\]
OpenStudy (michele_laino):

m^2 +4mn -3km - mn -4n^2 +3kn + km + 4nk - 3k^2
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
that's right!
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
now you can add only similar terms, namely:
similar terms are terms with identical literal parts.
For example:
4mn and -mn are similar terms, because have the same literal part.
Now 4mn+(-mn)=3mn
do you agree?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
ok! now another example:
-3km and km are similar terms, because, like before, they have the same literal part.
So I can add them each other.
I will get this:
-3km+km=-2km
do you agree?
