Which do you believe they are? I'll help you :)

B and C?

misssunshinexxoxo · Answer

This is a binomial yes

misssunshinexxoxo · Answer

Adding that 3x would make it a trinomial indeed

marihelenh · Answer

3x wouldn't make it a trinomial would it? You would be able to add it to 16x to make the answer 19x+2. That would still be a binomial.

marihelenh · Answer

I'm pretty sure you would have to add a) xy, because then you wouldn't be able to add anything, making it a trinomial.

You are right @marihelenh

freckles · Answer

adding the other two choices will still result in binomial
