What are terms? how do you combine them? can you give me an example?

A term is any number, variable or combination of a number and a variable in an equation.

Examples:

In 2x + 5y + 8, 2x is one term,  5y is a second term and 8 is a 3rd term.

In the equation 2x + 3 + 5x -2

Combine the like terms 2x and 5x are like terms because they both have x as a variable, there is a plus sign in fron of the 5x, so you would have 2x +5x = 7x

Then 3 and 3 are like terms, because they are just numbers, there is a subtraction sign in front of the 2, so you have 3-2 = 1

The equation then becomes: 2x + 3 + 5x -2 : 7x + 1

step-by-step explanation:

(- 1, 0 )

step-by-step explanation:

an x- intercept is where the function crosses the x- axis.

to find the x- intercept/s look for the value of x when f(x) = 0

from the given table there are 3 values of x where f(x) = 0

when x = - 1, x = 2, x = 3

the one that is listed is (- 1, 0 )
