Because you are not adding the x's .When you add the coefficients, the variable comes along with it.

Because you are adding an amount of the same variable. They are like terms so you would combine them. If it was 10xxx it would be 10+3x. But, 5x+3x+2x is 10 because 3x+2x is 5 and 5x+5x is 10x. You do not add the actual x's together, just the amount that is shown.
Think of it as this way:
5x = x x x x x
3x = x x x
2x = x x
in total, there are 10 x's

What is the length AB with endpoints A(-1,0) and B(4,-3). Step by step
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

A= [-1,0]

B=[4,-3]

x1 = -1 , x2 = 4 , y1 = 0 and y2 = -3

According to the question , we have to find the distance between AB . And we find distance through the distance formula.

Distance Formula = √[x2-x1]²+[y2-y1]²

                             = √[4-[-1]]²+[-3-0]²

                              =√[4+1]²+[-3]²

                                =  √5²+9

                               = √25+9 = √34

So , distance between the points A and B is root of 34 .
