Question

Choose the best definition for the following term: exponent (1 point)

Answer 1

Exponent : Shorthand that tells how many times the base is used as a factor, or how many times the base is multiplied by itself

2x - 2y + 5z -2x - y + 3z....combine like terms
2x - 2x = 0
-2y - y = -3y
5z + 3z = 8z
put it all together and u get : -3y + 8z

3x - y - 3z......x = -2, y = 1, z = -2
sub
3(-2) - 1 - 3(-2)
-6 - 1 + 6
-1 <===
