Mathematics

The given algebraic expressions 5xy and -8xy are like terms because of the similarity in their variable and it's power.

As per the question statement, we are given algebraic expressions 5xy and -8xy and we are supposed to tell whether these two terms are like or not.

We know that in Algebra, the phrases or terms that include the same variable and are raised to the same power are referred to as "like terms."

Hence as the variable part in the expressions, 5xy and -8xy, are same hence they can be added and subtracted hence are called like terms.

  • Algebraic expressions: An expression which is constructed using integer constants, variables, and algebraic operations is known as an algebraic expression in mathematics (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and exponentiation by an exponent that is a rational number)
  • Like terms: The definition of similar words is the terms that have the same variable raised to the same power. Only the numerical coefficients can alter in terms that are similar to algebra. We may combine similar words to make algebraic expressions simpler, making it much simpler to determine the expression's outcome.

densk [106]

Answer:

<h2>p(obtaining a red counter) = 0.625</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of counters in the bag is 5 + 3 = 8.

and only 5 are red.
