Question 21 • Mathematics 8

What are the like terms in the algebraic expression? negative A squared b plus 6 A b minus 8 plus 5 A squared b minus 6 A minus b

Answer
A
negative A squared b and negative 6 A
B
6 A b and 5 A squared b
C
negative A squared b and 5 A squared b
D
6 A b and negative 6 A

Explanation

Like terms have the same variables raised to the same powers. In the expression, −A²b and 5A²b both contain A²b, so they are like terms. The terms 6Ab and −6A differ in their variables, and 6Ab does not match 5A²b.
