Identify the coefficients constant terms and like terms of 4b-9 plus 2b plus 8?
4b - 9 + 2b + 8 Coefficients are the numbers in front of the variables. Therefore the coefficient of 4b is 4 and the coefficient of 2b is 2. The like terms are 2b and 2b, but also -9 and 8. Constant terms are the ones that do not contain a variable. -9 and 8 are the constants. 4b - 9 + 2b + 8 can be simplified (by combining like terms) to give 2b - 1
What does like terms mean?
Like terms are terms with the same variable to the same power. Examples: 2y and 3y are like terms. 2y and 2z are not like terms 4y squared and 3y squared are like terms 4y squared and 3y are not like terms
If terms are not like terms then they are?
Unlike terms.
What are terms that have the same variable and power?
Like terms
Is x and y like terms?
No. For purposes of combining "like terms", you need terms that have exactly the same variables, with the same exponents (if there are any).
