Can someone help me simplify an expression? and explain how to..?
yep ill try
10a^2 + 12b^2 - 8a^2 + 2b^2
@jagr2713
ok give me a sec
I believe you can group em all
combine like terms
exactly
can you explain please?
add number with same variables and same exponent together 4 example 2b + 3b =<=== both number have same variable and same exponent 3b^2 + 6b^2 both variables are same and same exponent which is two so you can combine them 3b^3 + 4b^2 <=== can you combine this ??? NO bec variable with 3 have exponent 3 but variable with 4 have exponent 2
10a^2 + 12b^2 - 8a^2 + 2b^2 so which numbers have same variable and same exponent ??
idk
a for apples b for bananas now separate apples and bananas
which number have apples and numbers with bananas ?? :)
10a^2 + 8a^2 12b^2 - 2b^2 @Nnesha
good now exponent is how many apples you have |dw:1421553366896:dw| so you can combine them
