Card 1Terms in an algebraic expression

Solve the classification: 5x^3 - 8xy + 7y^2 has how many terms?

Answer

Step 1: Separate the parts by + or -. Step 2: The terms are 5x^3, -8xy, and 7y^2. Step 3: Count them. Answer: 3 terms.

Card 2Types of algebraic expressions

Classify the expression 8 + x.

Answer

Step 1: Count the terms. The terms are 8 and x. Step 2: There are 2 terms. Answer: Binomial.

Card 3Types of algebraic expressions

Classify the expression 3 + x + y.

Answer

Step 1: Count the terms. The terms are 3, x, and y. Step 2: There are 3 terms only. Answer: Trinomial.

Card 4Types of algebraic expressions

Classify the expression x^2 - 5x.

Answer

Step 1: Count the terms. The terms are x^2 and -5x. Step 2: There are 2 or more terms. Answer: Multinomial.

Card 5Combining unlike terms

Why are 2 + x and 2x not the same?

Answer

Step 1: 2 + x is a sum of two unlike terms. Step 2: 2x means 2 multiplied by x. Step 3: Unlike terms cannot be combined into one term by addition. Answer: 2 + x ≠ 2x.

Card 6Combining like terms

Add: 3x + 2x

Answer

Step 1: The terms are like terms because the literal factor is x in both. Step 2: Add the coefficients: 3 + 2 = 5. Step 3: Keep the common literal factor x. Answer: 5x.

Card 7Combining like terms

Subtract: 8xy - 5xy

Answer

Step 1: The terms are like terms because the literal factor is xy in both. Step 2: Subtract the coefficients: 8 - 5 = 3. Step 3: Keep the common literal factor xy. Answer: 3xy.

Card 8Combining like terms

Add: 9xy^2 - 15xy^2 + 11xy^2

Answer

Step 1: All terms are like terms with common literal factor xy^2. Step 2: Add the coefficients: 9 - 15 + 11 = 5. Step 3: Keep the common literal factor xy^2. Answer: 5xy^2.
