Help Please!!!!!!!! Ill Give Medal!!!!!! Which sets include only like terms? Choose all answers that are correct. A. { -3abc, -4.9ac, -2b, -1/8abc } B. { -1.24jk, 17jk, 9jk, 4/5jk } C. { 7m, 213p, -22p, 3m } D. { 0.25x, 5x, -13.2x, 1/3x }

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know what like terms are at all?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya.... but i still need help with it i have like 5 questions i need to do this is the first one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's D because all of the numbers have "x" after them, which is their like term in this case. If all the numbers have the same variable, or no variables, after them, then they have like terms. Does that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya it makes sense but this question u choose more that one answer :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, then it would be B and D because B has "jk" at the end of all of them, and D has "x" at the end of all of them. My bad lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol its k :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u help me with some more??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mhm, suree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:) kk thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The term 25ab and which other term are like terms? A. 25 B. 24a C. 5ba D. 10b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

None because no answers have ab after them..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.... it has to be one of them ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, did you type all of the answers/question correctly..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i copy n pasted it so i couldn't have typed it in wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, I'm going to say C. 5ba because the order of the variables doesn't matter. When multiplying, the order doesn't matter, as long as the number, letters, and amount of the variables stay the same. Does that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okie dokie

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Combine like terms. 8 + 16r – 9r A. 8 + 7r B. 15r C. 15 D. 8 – 7r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D 8 - 7r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why did you pick D? Because I got A. 16-9 is +7, not -7. So that's how I got 8+7r

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

no...combine like terms pay attention to your signs

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

vangoo...I wasn't talking to you...yours is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha no no i said the D again cause these little things popped up �� instead of the -

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhh, okay. Well, do you understand how to get the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not really can u tell me how u got A???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, first off, do you know the like terms in this equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16 r n 9 r??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes! So now, pay attention to the sign in between them. What does it tell you to do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that u r subtracting..??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yepp. So, what is 16r-9r?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, so don't forget the variable: it would be 7r. Now, your equation would be 9+7r. Can you do anything else to this equation? Or is it in its simplest form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8+7r my bad lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bk n lol its k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wb, and okie dokie. Do you understand now? o.e

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya sorta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Combine like terms. 7/8x - 1/2x A. 1/8x B. 3/8 C. 3/8x D. x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, when you are working with fractions, you must get a common denominator. Do you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o.o Oh wow i cant believe i forgot how to get a common denominator lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, well, one sec lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol kk :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1420564149128:dw| Do you see what I did?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oops, it didn't show up xD one sec again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kk :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait the least common denominator is 8 isnt it??? cause 8 is well 8 lol n 2 can be added up to 8 so he least common denominator is 8 right ....??? :P idk lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1420564289559:dw| Do you see what I did?
