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:)

What is AE?<br> Enter your answer in the box?
Nataly [62]

Answer:

AE = 18 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ AEB and Δ DEC are similar , then corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

\frac{AE}{DE} = \frac{AB}{DC} , substitute values

\frac{2x+4}{x+8} = \frac{12}{10} ( cross- multiply )

10(2x + 4) = 12(x + 8) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

20x + 40 = 12x + 96 ( subtract 12x from both sides )

8x + 40 = 96 ( subtract 40 from both sides )

8x = 56 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 7

Then

AE = 2x + 4 = 2(7) + 4 = 14 + 4 = 18 units

Explain how to use what you know about whole number division to check your work when you divide with fractions.
serious [3.7K]

A fraction is a way to describe a part of a whole. A fraction can be a proper fraction, an improper fraction, or a mixed fraction.

<h3>What is a Fraction?</h3>

A fraction is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25.

A fraction consists of two whole numbers, a number that is above the fraction line which is the Dividend, while the number that is below the fraction line is known as the denominator and is the divisor. The result or the answer which we get when we solve the fraction is the factor or can be said, it is the quotient of the operation.

Suppose there is a fraction, a/b which is equal to c, then,

a is the dividend, b is the divisor, and c is the quotient.
