please help me I dont understand
OpenStudy (slickster256):
I believe its c because they have a common variable
Nnesha (nnesha):
if the variable is same with same exponent then you can combine their coefficients
here is an example
2x+3x = (3+2)x =5x
2 and 3 both have the same variable same exponent so i can combine them
Nnesha (nnesha):
2x +3x^2 can you combine them ?
OpenStudy (smart8thgrader):
I think

Is it c?
Nnesha (nnesha):
no you `can't` bec exponents aren't the same \[\huge\rm 2x^1 +3x^2\]
Nnesha (nnesha):
what about this one \[\huge\rm 2x^3 +3y^3\] can you combine 2 and 3 ?
OpenStudy (smart8thgrader):
IDK
Nnesha (nnesha):
well if the `variables` and the `exponents` are the same then you can combine their coefficients :=)
