Question

Which of the following terms can be combined in this expression? -3-x/5+6.2y+20.5x-3/8y

Answer 1

Answer:

$-\frac{x}{5}$ and 20.5x

$-\frac{3}{8}y$ and 6.2y

Step-by-step explanation:

-3-x/5+6.2y+20.5x-3/8y

$-3-\frac{x}{5}+6.2y+20.5x- \frac{3}{8} y$

We are given an expression with 5 terms

The terms that has same variables with same exponent are like terms. WE combine only like terms. Constants are also like terms.

In the given expression , the fractions $-\frac{x}{5}$ and 20.5x have same 'x' . so they are like terms. we can combine these terms.

the fractions $-\frac{3}{8}y$ and 6.2y have same 'y' . so they are like terms. we can combine these terms.
