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:)

How to find the inverse of each function <br> for example like this one: <br> h(x)=5/4x

Anton [14]

First rewrite it like this
1. y=5/4x
Then, make X the subject
2.4x=5/y
x=(5/y)÷4
3. Once done, simply replace x with h(x)^-1 and y with x
h(x)^-1= (5/x)÷4
Sorry I'm not very good at rearranging formula but hope this helps :)

Answer: see attachments

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Use Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side (x² + y² = h²)

Use the following formulas to find the trig functions:

$sin\theta=\dfrac{y}{h}\qquad \qquad csc\theta=\dfrac{h}{y}\\\\\\cos\theta=\dfrac{x}{h}\qquad \qquad sec\theta=\dfrac{h}{x}\\\\\\tan\theta=\dfrac{y}{x}\qquad \qquad cot\theta=\dfrac{x}{y}$
