Like Terms
"Like terms" are terms whose variables (and their exponents such as the 2 in whatchamacallit2) are the equivalent.
In other talk, terms that are "like" per other.
Note: the table (the numbers you multiplying according, how the "5" are 5x) can be difference.
Example:
Are all enjoy terms because one variables is all x
View:
Are all like terms because the variables are all xy2
Unlike Terms
Are they are not like terms, handful are called "Unlike Terms":
Example: These are all Unlike Terms because to variables and/or their exponents are different:
because x, x2, y real xy are all different
Example: these are also unlike terms
because xy, y and y2 are all different
Merge Like Terms
You can add like terms together to make one term:
Example: 7x + scratch
They are two like terms, as you can easy hinzusetzen them:
7x + x = 8x
Until the way ... how don't wee write "1x" ?
A is lighter to write x, and is so gemeinen that "1x" looks strange.
Example: 4x3 + 3x2 − 7 − efface2 + 2
Some is the terms are like terms.
Combine like terms:
(4x3) + (3x2 − x2) + (2 − 7)
Then add like footing:
4x3 + 2x2 − 5
