Q. Click and drag like terms onto each other to simplify fully.3−1+2−4x
Identify Like Terms: Identify like terms in the expression. Like terms are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same powers. In the expression 3−1+2−4x, the like terms are the constant numbers 3, −1, and 2. The term −4x is not like any other term because it contains a variable.
Combine Like Terms: Combine the like terms by adding or subtracting them. We add the constants 3, −1, and 2 together. This gives us 3−1+2=2+2=4.
Write Simplified Expression: Write down the simplified expression. Since there are no like terms with −4x, we just bring it down as is. The simplified expression is 4−4x.
