Question

PLEASE HELPPP ANYONEE

Consider the binomial multiplication represented in this table.
Perform the binomial multiplication to determine the value of the letters in the table.
a= -6x,-3x,7x,14x
b= 5x,7x,9x,14x
c=-21,-3x,4,7x
Which letters from the table represent like terms?
A and B
A and C
B and C

Answer 1

A= -3x

B= 14x

C= -21x

A and B are the letters that represent like terms

Answer 2

The value of A is -3x, the value of B is 14x and the value of C is -21. A and B are like terms.

Explanation:

From the given table it is noticed that the values in first row are x and 7. The values in first column are 2x and -3.

Multiply each row value with column values.

`x* 2x=2x^2`

`A=x* (-3)=-3x`

`B=7* 2x=14x`

`C=7* (-3)=-21`

The value of A is -3x, the value of B is 14x and the value of C is -21.

Two terms are called like terms if they have same variables with same power.

Since A and B have variable x with degree 1 but C is constant, therefore A and B are like terms.
