Because like terms you add or subtract together to make it easier to do the problem. just like you do with whole numbers. you add an subtract to make the answer simpler.

Adding and subtracting like terms is the same as adding and subtracting of numbers, i.e., natural numbers, whole numbers and integers. So, the sum and the difference of several like terms is another like term whose coefficient is the sum and the difference of the coefficient of several like terms.

hope this helped:)

Consider these four functions. Choose the one which will be the greatest as x → ∞. A) h(x) = 3x B) f(x) = x25 C) g(x) = 5x500 D)

Nikolay [14]

For this case what you should know is that all functions tend to infinity when x tends to infinity.
However, there are functions that grow faster than others.
In this case, the function that grows fastest is the one with the highest exponent.
We have then:
g (x) = 5x ^ 500
The exponent of 500 makes the function grow to infinity faster than the other functions.
Answer:
C) g (x) = 5x500

the length of a rectangular building is 6 feet less than 3 times t he width. The perimeter is 120 feet. Find the width and the l

garri49 [273]

Call the width x. Note that the length is 3x-6. We know that double the width plus double the length is 120, so we write an equation:

$2(x)+2(3x-6)=120$
$2x+6x-12=120$
$8x-12=120$
$8x=132$
$x=16.5$
If x is 16.5, the width is 16.5, and the length is $3 \cdot 16.5 - 6 = 43.5$ .
