Question

Taylor writes an expression with 5 terms. all 5 terms are like terms. how many terms are in the equivalent expression with the least number of terms?

Answer 1

One term; you should be able to combine the expression's like terms into one. 

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Taking into account that they are all like terms they can be combined, therefore there would only be one term. For example:

5x-3x+6x-x+2x=

Combine the like terms

2x+6x-x+2x=

It can be simplified further

8x-x+2x=

7x+2x=

9x
