Question

Identify the LIKE TERMS in the expression. −5x−3x+4+9x

Answer 1

Answer:

-5x,-3x, and 9x

Step-by-step explanation:

these are like terms because they all have an x at the end. say there was a number like 7xb and 6xb, they would be like terms, however, if you have 3x and  3xb, they would not be like terms. When you have like terms you can combine them together. So for this, it would be

1x+4

hope this helps :)
