Q. Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression.4t−t+2=0
Identify like terms: Identify like terms in the expression.In the expression 4t−t+2, the like terms are 4t and −t, as they both contain the variable t.
Combine like terms: Combine the like terms.To combine 4t and −t, we subtract the coefficients of t: 4−1=3.So, 4t−t becomes 3t.
Rewrite expression with combined like terms: Rewrite the expression with the combined like terms.The expression now becomes 3t+2.
Check for other like terms: Check for any other like terms that can be combined.There are no other like terms in the expression 3t+2, so we are done.
