Are 5x and 5x^2 like terms? Explain your answerc​

Pavel [41]3 years ago

Answer:

No.  5x and 5x² are not like terms.

When a variable is raised to two different powers, they can not be added together.

Another way to look at it is to note that:

5x + 5x² ≡ 5x(1 + x)

It is more obvious there that 1 and x are not like terms, thus neither are 5x and 5x², though they do have common factors.

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the unknown number be x

now we are to find x regarding the question as an equation, let's form the equation to solve for x

the interpretation of the question is:

(x² + x)/3 = x

by collecting the like terms:

(x²+ x) = 3x

x² + x = 3x

x² = 3x - x

x² = 2x

x = 2

What is the difference between a formal and an informal proof?
Nutka1998 [239]
 <span>informal proofs are usually in paragraph form, while formal proofs are numbered, like this: 
Given: a=b, b=c 
Prove: a=c 
1. a=b, b=c 1. Given 
2. a=c 2. transitive property 
the first line is usually the given, the middle lines are statements which help you get to your proof, and the last line is your proven statement. next to your statements, you have to give reasons why the statement is true, like a=c is proven because of the transitive property</span>
