Identify the like terms in the following expression: 14y2+14y−2y−4. A. 14y, 4 B. 14y2, 14y, -2y C. 14y, 2y, 4 D. 14y, -2y
Like terms are the terms with the same varible attatched to it
Look the the letters behind those numbers which have the same one?
Not quite
no because in C there is 12y 2y and 4... no y
The 4 does not have a y attached to it so they are no like terms
oh. so its b
Well its y^2 its not just y
not quite. its tricky because they put a y^2 which is not the same as just y
no.... it has to have exactly the same variables Like terms : 4y,3y,-5y Unlike terms : 4y^2, 2y, 3
Here is an example |dw:1444057091664:dw|
Have you figured it out?
no...
there is only one left that you havent chosen with matching variables. variables are the letter like Y or X if there is a number AFTER the variable it is not the same.
does 14y and 4 have the same variable?
