What is combining like terms?

Answer:

Combining like terms is where you add/subtract/multiply/divide like terms to get a more simplified answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine means put together so that could mean add, subtract, multiply, or divide. Like terms are (just what it sounds like) terms that are alike as in with the same variable or even without a variable. Here's an example combining like terms:

Simplify 5x + 4 - 3x + 7.

First find the terms with the variable x which is: 5x and -3x

Combine them by subtracting 3x from 5x because -3x is negative: 5x - 3x = 2x

Find terms without any variable: 4 and 7

Combine them by adding because they are positive: 4 + 7 = 11

Now, the answer is 2x + 11 and it can't be simplified any more because there are no alike terms.

Hope this helps! If you have any additional questions please don't hesitate to ask me or your teacher to be sure you master the subject. :)

Stay safe and please mark brainliest!

Answer:

Like terms are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same power. We combine like terms to shorten and simplify algebraic expressions, so we can work with them more easily. To combine like terms, we add the coefficients and keep the variables the same.

Answer:

side c = 150 feet of flowers

Area = 5400 feet squared

concert question:

The converse of the Pythagorean theorem can help you determine whether the roped off area is in the shape of a right triangle because you use the side lengths of each square and enter them into the equation, and if the equation is true, then it is a right triangle

Concession stand question:

The school banner can fit across the length of the concession stand

the following information is missing

The length if the sides: c is 50 feet long, b is 40 foot long, and a is 30-foot long.

The distance between the two red stars of the picture makes the hypotenuse of a right triangle, where two sides of length a (30 ft) are the legs. From Pythagorean theorem, diagonal of square A is:

diagonal² = 30² + 30²

diagonal = √1800  = 42.43 ft

which is longer than the banner.

Blueprint question:

No, diagonal of square C is 70.71ft

2nd blueprint question:

50 square root 2
