HELP ASAP

1. How many terms are in the following algebraic expression?

4x + 6 + 5y + 10


A 4

B 2

C 0

D 3

2. Simplify the following algebraic expression by combining the like terms.



3x2 + x + 10 + 5x



A 9x2 +10


B 3x2 + 10 +x


C 8x3 + x + 10


D 3x2 + 6x + 10

Answer 1

1. Well, first of all, a term in an equation is the variables and/or numbers when they are together. For something to be one term, it cannot be added or subtracted or else, that is more that one term and if it is a term, then it can multiplied or divided.
In this equation: 4x + 6 + 5y + 10, there are 4 terms.

2. 3x^2 + X + 10 + 5x
= 3x^2 + 6x + 10

So, in conclusion, the answer to this question is: D. 3x^2 + 6x + 10.

Answer 2

1. A. 4 terms

There are 4 different values in the expression, so therefore there are 4 terms.

2. D. 3x^2 + 6x + 10

To get the answer...

start with the original expression: 3x^2 + x + 10 + 5x

add the like terms together, in this case you'd add x + 5x

you'll get: 3x^2 + 6x + 10

I hope I could help :)
