Is 5xy and -8xy similiar explain why

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.

Solve for x.<br> Worth 20 pts.
Vinvika [58]
You’d set up a proportion. I did 25/15=7x-40/18.
Then you would cross multiply to get 15(7x-40)=450
Distribute the 15.
105x-600=450
Add 600 to both sides, so the -600 cancels out.
Then you’re left with 105x=1050
Divide both sides by 105 and you get x=10

The first three terms of a sequence are given. Round to the nearest thousandth (if necessary).
BabaBlast [244]

Step-by-step explanation:

the introduction of a fraction tells us that we are dealing with multiplications, and therefore a geometric sequence (where every new term is created by multiplying the previous term by a constant factor, the ratio r).

I think your teacher made a mistake, or you made one when typing the question in here.

there is no factor r that creates

15×r = 9

and

9×r = 5/27

it would mean that

15 × r² = 5/27

r² = 5/27 / 15 = 5/27 × 1/15 = 5/405 = 1/81

r = 1/9

but 15 × 1/9 = 5 × 1/3 = 5/3 is NOT 9

and 9 × 1/9 = 9/9 = 1 is NOT 5/27

so, this can't be right.

on the other hand

15 × r = 9

r = 9/15 = 3/5

and then

9 × 3/5 = 27/5

so, either the sequence should have been

15, 5/3, 5/27

or (and I suspect this to be true)

15, 9, 27/5

under that assumption we have

s1 = 15

r = 3/5

sn = sn-1 × r = s1 × r^(n-1) = 15 × (3/5)^(n-1)

s10 = 15 × (3/5)⁹ = 15 × 19683/1953125 =

= 3 × 19683/390625 = 59049/390625 =

= 0.15116544 ≈ 0.151
