Is 2x and 5x^2 like terms?

Mathematics

No, they are not like terms because they cannot be added together. 5x^2 is squared, whereas 2x is not. Though they both have x variables attached to them, they are not like terms because one is squared and the other is not. Examples of like terms include 5 and 8, 4y and 7y, 8z^2 and 10z^2.

Hope this helps!! :)

svet-max [94.6K]

Complete Question

Kelvin finished 2/3​​ of his test in a 1/2​​ hour. Express this rate in hours per test.

Answer:

3/4 hours per test

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 of his test = 1/2 hour

This rate in hours per test is calculated as:

x = 1/2 /2/3

x = 1/2 hour ÷ 2/3 test

x = 1/2 × 3/2

x = 3/4 hours per test

This rate in hours per test is given as 3/4 hours per test

An isoceles triangle measures 30°. which other angles could be on that isoceles triangle​
hoa [83]

Answer: 75 degrees on the other two angles because all of the angles added together should be 180. So if you do 180-30 then divide that by 2 you get the other two angles.

Joe has eaten 2/5 of a pizza. James has eaten 1/7. How many times more pizza has Joe eaten than James?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
First let's make the denominators of the fractions equal.
To do this, we have to find a number which both 5 and 7 divide into.
The smallest number that does this is 35.

2  --> Multiply the numerator by 7
--   
5  --> Multiply the denominator by 7 to get 35

= 14/35

1 --> Multiply the numerator by 5
--
7 --> Multiply the denominator by 5 to get 35

= 5/35

Joe has eaten 14/35 and James has eaten 5/35.
14 / 5 = 2.8

<u>Joe has eaten 2.8 (or 2 4/5) times more pizza than James.</u>
