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
To identify like terms you look at the variables in the terms for example; 4X,3d,2X2,32d the only like terms in there are 32d and 3d because the variable has to be to the same power Thanks for making me feel like a teacher hee hee ur welcome :]
A linear function can only have terms containing the variable to the power 1 or constant terms. In a trinomial with one variable, therefore, either teo of the terms have the variable to the power 1 or two constant terms. In either case, the two like terms can be combined so that the expression is no longer a trinomial.
multiplied
no only the coefficients can. like rad 5 but not x or y
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
The answer depends on how fluently you can work with fractions.

To add like terms, find the terms that have the same (or no) variable, and combine the coefficients of the terms. For instance, if you have a+b where a and b are real numbers, you can combine them.
Add together the coefficients of "like" terms. Like terms are those that have the same powers of the variables in the polynomials.
like terms - are terms that have identical variable parts and constant terms
They have the same form for any variables, but the numerical coefficients can be different.
Just multiply the coefficients, leave the variable the same, and add the exponents.
Like terms are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same power. Here is an example: 123xyz and 575676xyz. Like terms can be combined by adding the numerical coefficients, for example , 5x+6x+15x=26x
A: As an engineer it surely like to drink to that. No the coefficient varies from component to component and even with the environment to boot.
To identify like terms you look at the variables in the terms for example; 4X,3d,2X2,32d the only like terms in there are 32d and 3d because the variable has to be to the same power Thanks for making me feel like a teacher hee hee ur welcome :]
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..
1) Identify characteristics not all terms have 2) Separate into characteristics 3) Gather like terms
