(i) 5x, – 3x, 4x, –10x
Hint:
Arrange the term in the decreasing order of their power.
○ To add polynomials simply add any like terms together.
○ Like terms are terms whose variables and exponents are the same
The correct answer is: - 4x
Answer:
○ The concept used in this question is the addition of polynomials.
○
- Step by step explanation:
○ Given:
Expression: 5x, –3x, 4x, –10x
○ Step 1:
○ Simplify the expression.
∴ ( 5x ) + (–3x ) + (4x) + (-10x )
○ Step 2:
○ Perform simple addition of like terms
5x – 3x + 4x -10x
- 4x
- Final Answer:
- 4x
