If terms are not like terms then they are?
Unlike terms.
How do you subtract Fractions with models unlike denominators?
The denominators need to be the same for subtraction. Find the Least Common Denominator for both items and then subtract.
Are polynomial and trinomial the same?
A trinomial is a polynomial. All trinomials are polynomials but the opposite is not true. a trinomial= three unlike terms. a polynomial= "many" unlike terms.
Subtract 9x-9 from 2x plus 3?
You can only add or subtract like terms. So, you subtract 9x from 2x, which gives you -7x. Then subtract -9 from 3 to get -6. And you are left with -7x -6.
What does decreased mean in math terms?
Decreased means subtract. If your age is decreased by 5, that means take your age and subtract 5.
When can you add or subtract coefficients?
You can add and subtract coefficients when they occur in like terms, which means they have the same variable. 2x + 3x = 5x (This addition can take place because all of the variables are x, and are therefore like terms.) and 5y - 2y = 3y (This subtraction can take place because all of the variables are y, and are therefore like terms.) However, if the variables differ, they are unlike terms, and you cannot add or subtract the coefficients. For example: 2a + 3b cannot be added because a and b are different variables, and therefore unlike terms. 3c - 2d cannot occur because c and d are different variables, and therefore unlike terms..
Do you add and subtract like and unlike fractions in the same way?
no, to add and subtract like and unlike fractions the denominator has to be the same,
How do you combine unlike terms?
Unlike terms are terms in an equation that are different. These terms cannot be combined. Like terms, however, can be combined.
What are the steps to subtract unlike fractions?
first find a common denominator then subtract the top numbers
If terms are not like terms then they are?
Unlike terms.
How do you add and subtract unlike metric units?
You would have to convert the units to be alike, then you would be able to add and subtract them.
What is a situation where you would use LCM?
To add and subtract unlike fractions.
How do you subtract integers like and unlike sign?
what's 8+15=
When do you use LCM in math?
When you want to add or subtract unlike fractions.
How is combining like terms similar to adding and subtracting square roots?
In surd form, square roots need to be have the same radical term before you can add or subtract them. However, unlike in algebraic expressions, it is possible to add or subtract square roots using approximate (decimal) values.
How do you add and subtract mixed numbers with unlike denominators?
just change the fration with the smallest denominator and add or subtract the way you always do.
What do you call the terms that have different variables and exponents?
Unlike terms.
