Isaiah writes an expression with 5 terms. All 5 terms are like terms. How
many terms are in the equivalent expression with the least number of
terms. Explain.
Your answer
Please help me out
Since all 5 terms are like terms they can all be combined into 1 term. For example, 3x + 8x + 5x + 4x + 19x = ?. Since they all have the term x they can be combined into 39x. That leaves 1 term.
