Q & A

What is the primary focus of the video transcript?

The video focuses on algebraic addition and subtraction, specifically how to combine like terms.

What are like terms in algebra?

Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same power, allowing them to be combined during addition or subtraction.

How do you combine the terms 2x² and 9x²?

You can combine these terms by adding their coefficients: 2 + 9 = 11, resulting in 11x².

What should you do if a term appears alone, like 2a²?

If a term appears alone, you simply retain it as is, since it does not have any like terms to combine with.

What is the result of adding a and 3a?

The result is 4a, since you combine their coefficients: 1 + 3 = 4.

When subtracting expressions, what must you remember to do?

When subtracting, you must distribute the negative sign to each term in the expression being subtracted.

In the expression 12x² - 9x - 8y + 7xy - 4x² + 5y, how do you simplify it?

First, group the like terms: combine 12x² and -4x² to get 8x², then -8y and 5y to get -3y, and finally -9x and 7xy remain unchanged.

What is the final simplified result of the expression 12x² - 9x - 8y + 7xy - 4x² + 5y?

The final result is 8x² - 3y - 9x + 7xy.

What is the first step when performing the subtraction of 5P - Q from 9P - 6Q?

The first step is to write the expression as (9P - 6Q) - (5P - 3Q) and then distribute the negative sign.

After distributing the negative sign in the subtraction example, how do you combine the terms?

Combine like terms by adding or subtracting the coefficients of each variable, resulting in 4P - 3Q.
