Why do terms have to be like terms?

Mathematics
1 answer:
jolli1 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Like terms are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same power. Only the numerical coefficients are different. In an expression, only like terms can be combined. We combine like terms to shorten and simplify algebraic expressions, so we can work with them more easily.

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you simplify (a - b)(a^2 - ab + b^2) you end up a^3 - b^3, instead of a^3 + b^3. The rest all work out.

After a hike, a group of students equally share 5 boxes of granola bars. Each box has 8 granola bars. Which algebraic expression
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer: B.

First, we have to have a question for this problem to create a solution. So, the example sentence is how many granola bars does each student get.

Second, an algebraic expression has a variable in it. So since we are trying to find the number of students, the variable is s.

From looking at C and D, we can already eliminate them. This question has mostly multiplication and division words in it, so it can't be addition and multiplication.

Now, we only have A and B left. A tip on  how to figure this out is reading the word problem out thoroughly. I will use B as an example. 5 boxes of granola bars were multiplied by the number of granola bars each student got. From reading this, it makes more sense. But it does change the example sentence, though.

I hope this helped and this is the right answer!
