Question

12x+9−3x−4 Identify the LIKE TERMS in the expression. If there are multiple groups of like terms, use one answer space per group. If there is only one group of like terms, type NONE in the second space.

Answer 1

like terms are 12x and -3x, 9 and -4.

Explanation:

12x and -3 have a variable of x. 9 and -4 are constants. Since they are like terms you can group them to be 9x+5. 12x-3x is 9x and 9-4 is 5.
