Question

How do you identify two like terms? *

Explain whether or not the two terms are like terms. 2n and 10p *
Use the distributive property to rewrite the following expression. 4(2a + 5) *
Identify the coefficient in the following expression. 7g + 10 *

Answer 1

1. You Identify like terms by whether they are connected to a similar value. (2x and 7x are examples of like terms, having both be connected to an X value.)

2. 2n and 10p are not like terms. As they both are connected to differing values

3. 8a+20 (multiply the variables inside the parenthesis by whatever is on the outside of the parenthesis)

4. The coefficient is the constant quantity connected to a value. In this case the coefficient is 7.

Stop answering questions you don't know the answer to. It helps nobody and wastes points that could have very well been given to someone that actually answered/deserves them.
