Question

What are the combining like terms plz

Answer 1

Answer: Terms that have identical variable parts (same variable(s) and same exponent(s)). So in this case the like terms are -7q and 9q AND 2 and 6 are like terms *REMEMBER: constant (which are numbers with NO variables can also be like terms)

but to solve this:

first group the like terms so:

(-7q+9q) that gives us 2q

(2+6) that gives us 8

*In your FINAL answer ALWAYS put the number(s) with variables first so the final answer is 2q+8

Answer 2

-7q and 9q, 2 and 6

Explanation:

they are like each other
