Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3x and 3y are not "like terms," despite having the same coefficient.
Like terms have the same variable. For example, 3x and 2x are like terms, so
3x+2x = 5x
3/2 since you move 3 spaces horizontally (x) and 2 spaces up (y)
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
Using fundamental theorem of algebra, there should be 7 roots, if you count multiplicity.
If you're only counting distinct roots, then there should be 4 roots.
You know you are finished dividing when you can no longer simply & when you plug it back in to check the answer
