Question

Find the sum of the following expressions.
(i) 5x, – 3x, 4x, –10x

hintHint:

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

                              rightwards double arrow  5x – 3x + 4x -10x

                              rightwards double arrow  - 4x

    • Final Answer:

                            - 4x
