OpenStudy (photon336):
now we can add these two because they both have c in them, that's what like terms are
OpenStudy (photon336):
say if we had this
3c - 2f
can we subtract them?

because they have the same variable
OpenStudy (alivejeremy):
do u have a email
OpenStudy (photon336):
exactly and that's all it is. remember when you add and subtract numbers or do any operation combining like terms means terms that have the same variable.
You can ask/message me any question if you want I prefer to go on open study though
