Question

Select the expression that contains only like terms.

  1. 8t - 4t    
  2. 6f - 6t + 3    
  3. 7y - 9    
  4. 4f + 4f + 4    

hintHint:

General expression evaluation approach is long enough to solve the given expression.

The correct answer is: 8t - 4t


    We were asked to find the expression that contains only like terms. An expression is said to have only like terms if and only if it contains same variables with different coefficients.
    let us consider options and verify the expression that it has only like terms.
    Option 1 : 8t - 4t
    The variables present in the expression is  only 't'. Hence, we can say that it is the required                          expression that has only like terms.
    Hence, We can say that 8t-4t is the required expression that has only like terms.

    In Mathematics, general simplification of the expression is evaluated using the properties of the variables.
    ** Like terms can perform any operation defined in the expression.
    ** Unlike terms are remained unevaluated after the evaluation of the like terms present in the expression.
    ** Hence, Simplification of the expression should follow above rules.
    Example to show expression evaluation: a + a = 2a ; 2a-a = a ; are the correct evaluation of the like terms where as
    a-b = a-b is the example for evaluation of the unlike terms.

    Robin charges his tenants $400 each month to rent his houses plus $600 security deposit. In the new year, the property taxes increased on the area where he rents, so as a result, he must increase the rate of change by $25 to ensure his profits are not harmed. The equation best represents how much his tenants will now have to pay is

    Given That :
    Rent paid by tenants per month= 400 dollars
    Total security deposit per month= 600 dollars
    let, there exists x tenants in the house belongs to the owner.
    Rate of change made by owner = 25 dollars.
    Now, Amount that should be paid by one tenant =  425 dollars.
    Amount that should be paid by x tenants   = 425x dollars
    Then, total amount paid by the x tenant = y = 425x + 600
    The final equation is  y = 425x + 600

    Robert earns $25 per yard he mows in the summer. If he also makes a onetime amount of $100 for babysitting his brother, write an equation that can be used to determine the number of yards (y) he will need to mow to go to Italy for $3,100.

    Given That:
    Number of yards : y
    Amount earned by Robert per yard : 25 dollars
    Amount earned by Robert from his brother : 100 dollars
    Total amount needed to go to Italy : 3100 dollars.
    Hence, Total amount earned by Robert for y yards : 25cross timesy dollars
    Now, the amount that Robert earn totally = 25y + 100 dollars.
    Now, the final Equation becomes 25y + 100 = 3100

    Simplify the following expression: 3 + 5x + 8 – 2x

    Since, an expression can have any terms in it. we can reduce the like terms with the operation between them and combine their results to obtain the final expression.
    Given Expression:
    3 + 5x + 8 – 2x
    Here, the like terms are 3,5 with 0 degree terms and 5x, -2x with 1 degree terms. Then,
    **degree 0 terms>> 3+8 = 11

    ** By combining the above results gives 3x + 11
    Hence, an expression becomes  3 + 5x + 8 – 2x = 11 + 3x.
