Terms whose variables are the same are called what?
Terms that have variables that are the same are called like terms. Ex. `8x and 5x are like terms` Ex2. `5x^2 and 7x^2 are like terms`
i have one more question
What are Opposite Operations (Inverse Operations)?
Opposite Operations are values that will cancel each other out. Addition and Subtraction are opposite, while as multiplication and division are opposites. Ex. `5 added to -5, 5's opposite is -5 which will result in 0. 5 + -5 = 0` Ex. ` 3 multiplied by 1/3. 3's opposite is 1/3 (division wise) which will result in 1. 3 x 1/3 = 1`
Excuse me, that was the wrong definition though the examples are correct. `Inverse operations are operations that 'undo' each other.` Now that's a bit more accurate.
thank you
