One The five has to be minus, the two is plus. m has to be both. That makes D the answer. The others give 3m 7m and 3m. Answer D
Two This question is VERY important. Don;t leave it alone until you understand it. 2x and x can combine. Nothing else can combine with anything else. The answer you get is
3x - 5y + 3
There are 3 different terms. Nothing else will combine because either the letters are different (x and y) or the 3 has no letter with it. This is your answer. Algebra is real picky about that.
Answer A
Three Another biggy. x^2 is not the same thing as x. The other three will combine by addition. x^2 must be left alone along with 4. Answer B 4x^2 If you were actually to do this, you would get 9x + 4x^2 Four 5b. the letters are not the same.
