OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

Hint: like terms are terms who share the same variables.

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

so.. it's A,B,D

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

right

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

It's A,B,C,D

OpenStudy (ktbug3):

no only one letter off try again:) d is incorrect because it has n and nsquared so it is not the same but a and b are correct

OpenStudy (ktbug3):

D IS INCORRECT i just did this in school and D is incorrect

OpenStudy (ktbug3):

d is incorrect because when you have a regular variable and variable squared and cubed together they are not alike so n squared n and n cubed are not like terms. make sense?

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

ok I got 4 more

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

Oh jeez I didn't even notice that. Great job :)

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

OpenStudy (ktbug3):

thanks :)

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

OpenStudy (ktbug3):

what do you think it is

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

b

OpenStudy (ktbug3):

i will tell you if you are correct

OpenStudy (ktbug3):

no because the first one has a n and the 2nd has an m

OpenStudy (ktbug3):

try again

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

um.. a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct

OpenStudy (ktbug3):

no there is an m and an n it is not a try c:)

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

c

OpenStudy (ktbug3):

yah;)

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

OpenStudy (ktbug3):

g2g sorry bye:0) hope i helped

This was the question, right: \[2m^2-4n^2+3m-6m^2-2m+7n^2\] That simplifies \[=2m^2-6m^2+3m-2m+7n^2-4n^2\]\[=-4m^2+m+3n^2\] Which is the answer a not c.

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

im going with c dude im sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just look at the calculations, it is not c.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please show me how you got the answer "c".

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

ok let's do this one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you think?

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

I have no clue what this one is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have the growth of each child. And you want the growth of them both together. So you need to add the individuals growths. \[5x-1+2x+3=?\]

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

9x

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

5x−1+2x+3=9x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[5x+2x=7x\]\[-1+3=2\] So \[5x+2x-1+3=?\]

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

5x+2x-1+3=9x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, it is \[5x+2x-1+3=7x+2\] You cannot add the +2 into the x's, they are not the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just like you cant say 7 apples + 2 bananas = 9 apples

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

oh sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No worries

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

I got two more

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

First calculate the sum of Thomas's expression, just like we did with the last question. And then calculate Kellys expression. Now you subtract them from each other and find the difference.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So we start with Thomas's expressions: \[3x+7+2x-3=?\]

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

3x+7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes that is the first expression he took from the bag. The second is 2x - 3. So add those together

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

add 3x+7 to 2x - 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, what is that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[3x+7+2x-3=?\]

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

9x

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need to keep the x's and the other numbers seperate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can imagine the x's as apples and the other numbers as bananas.

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

:/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[3x+2x+7-3=5x+4\]

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

2+3=5 and 7-3=4

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

OpenStudy (cmtboy2):

last one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, now remember it is 5x

OpenStudy (ktbug3):

how did you do on the grade
