OpenStudy (photon336):

Do you know what like terms are @alivejeremy

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

a little

OpenStudy (photon336):

say if I had this can we add these two why or why not? \[3c + 2c \]

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

yea cause they got the same variable

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? then well move on to your question

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

no

OpenStudy (photon336):

why cant we subtract them? I know this sounds a bit ridiculous but this will help you to understand like terms,

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

cause they have diff variable

OpenStudy (photon336):

now let's move on to your question

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

lol

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

its b,a,c

OpenStudy (photon336):

Haha yep

OpenStudy (photon336):

let me ask you why?

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

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
