8% as a fraction in lowest terms is 2/25
9 / 25 = 3(2) / 5(2) in this format it is already reduced (simplified) to lowest terms,
As a fraction it is equivalent to 2/25 in its lowest terms
.25, take the average of the two by summing them and dividing by the number of terms, 2. (.2+.3)/2 = .25
2/25
one that won't talk to one another because they don't like each other... NO, seriously, they are terms that are different. For example x^2+2x+3x-4x^2. The x^2 terms are like terms and the x^2 terms and the x terms and unlike because they are different. Just like x and y, or apples and oranges.
2/5
It is: 0.08 = 2/25 as a fraction in its lowest terms
8% as a fraction is 2/25 in its lowest terms
i think yes, because you can combine 2 and -2, which are like terms, so why not 2a and -2a?
1) Identify characteristics not all terms have 2) Separate into characteristics 3) Gather like terms
-16x + 2 + 18x 'Like' terms are those which contain the same factor; in this case 'x' So taking -16x + 18x =. 18x - 16x = 2x So it becomes 2x + 2 NB The '2' , on its own is a constant, so is not a 'like' term. Similarly, something like 2x^3 + 3x^2 + x^3 - x^2 . The 'x^3' are like terms , and the 'x^2' are like terms, but 'x^3' is unlike to 'x^2'. So collecting like terms it would become 4x^3 + 2x^2 . When you do something like 2x^2(2x + 1) , this is NOT collecting like terms , but FACTORING. Hope that helps!!!!!
