Q. Click and drag like terms onto each other to simplify fully.−1−4y3−2x3+5x+2−7−x3
Identify Like Terms: Identify like terms in the expression −1−4y3−2x3+5x+2−7−x3. Like terms are terms that have the same variables raised to the same powers. Here, −2x3 and −x3 are like terms, 5x is a term on its own, and −1, 2, and −7 are like terms because they are constants.
Combine Constant Terms: Combine the constant terms −1, 2, and −7.−1+2−7=0+(−7)=−6
Combine x3 Terms: Combine the like terms with x3, which are −2x3 and −x3.−2x3−x3=−3x3
Remaining Terms: There are no like terms with 4y3, so it remains as is.
Write Simplified Expression: There are no like terms with 5x, so it remains as is.
Write Simplified Expression: There are no like terms with 5x, so it remains as is.Write down the simplified expression by combining the results from the previous steps.The simplified expression is −6−3x3−4y3+5x.
