• True

• False

Answer explanation

WE MAY ONLY ADD AND SUBTRACT LIKE TERMS! 😉

True of false? The MISSION of algebraic equations is always to get the variable alone.

• True

• False

True of false? When we think of algebraic equations, we must think of a balancing scale: what we do on the one side of the equal sign, we must do on the other side.

• True

• False

Answer explanation

Simplify (if possible): $48x^2y^3-12x^2y^3$  

•  $36xy$  

•  $36$  

•  $36x^2y^3$
