Have u tried to combine the like terms? :)

yanasidlinskiy · Answer

In other words, do you know what like terms are?

anonymous · Answer

Yea i got c but idk how i feel about it

yanasidlinskiy · Answer

What do you get when you add 4x+5x?

anonymous · Answer

9x

yanasidlinskiy · Answer

I meant 6x. Not 5x.

anonymous · Answer

10x

yanasidlinskiy · Answer

So now you're left with:
10x-5=6

anonymous · Answer

so add 5?

yanasidlinskiy · Answer

Yes, you'd add 5 to solve the rest of the equation. But they're only asking you only to combine terms. And that is what you get when you combine terms.

yanasidlinskiy · Answer

Combined terms are supposed to be on one side of the equation for example:
5x+3x+ 2+10=25
To solve we would just add the like terms.
8x+12=25.
Do you see where I'm going with this?

anonymous · Answer
