What is best definition of combining like terms

1 answer:

8 0

They are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same power. Only the numerical coefficients are different. In an expression, only like terms can be combined. We combine like terms to shorten and simplify algebraic expressions, so we can work with them more easily.

Answer:

x = 109

Step-by-step explanation:

$(x + 12) \degree + 59 \degree = 180 \degree \\ (sum \: of \: exterior \: angles \: on \: same \: side \: \\ of \: transversal) \\ (x + 71) \degree = 180 \degree \\ x + 71 = 180 \\ x = 180 - 71 \\ \purple{ \bold{ x = 109}}$

3x+12 = 36

3x = 24
