First, you must use a factor tree to find the prime factors of the number.
12
/ \
6 (2)
/ \
(3) (2)
2 , 2 and 3 are the prime factors that make 12
2 x 2 x 3= 12
Or
2^2 x 3= 12
You would use B to find X
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.
