An additive inverse is the value you can add to a given value such that the sum is "0"..
Your answer is choice A
18xy + (-18xy) = 0 Since these are like terms.. the key here is understanding that like terms must have the same exact variables raised to the exact same powers. We can add like terms. We cannot add unlike terms.
A.step 1 because it should be x^2 not 2x
Answer: 6i) 6a² - 2ab
6ii) -2b³
6iii) b³ + 7b² - 49b
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
6i) (a + b)(5a - 3b) + (a - 3b)(a - b)
= 5a² - 3ab + 5ab - 3b² + a² - ab - 3ab + 3b²
= 5a² + 2ab - 3b² + a² - 4ab + 3b²
= 6a² - 2ab
6ii) (a - b)(a² + b² + ab) - (a + b)(a² + b² - ab)
= a³ + ab² + a²b - ab² - a²b - b³ - (a³ + ab² - a²b -ab² + a²b + b³)
= a³ - b³ - (a³ + b³)
= a³ - b³ - a³ - b³
= -2b³
6iii) (b² - 49)(b + 7) + 343
= b³ + 7b² - 49b - 343 + 343
= b³ + 7b² - 49b
