Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression: -4q - (-8q) + 10

Like terms are terms that have the same variable and power/exponent.

-4q - (-8q) + 10   (two negative signs cancel each other out and become positive)

-4q + 8q + 10     The only like terms you can combine are -4q and 8q, because they have the same variable of q and an exponent of 1.

4q + 10        (this is as far as you can simplify)

false

step-by-step explanation:

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x (x+6)^2, choice b

discussion:

factor x out of the equation:

x^3 + 12x^2 + 36x = x (x^2 + 12x + 36).

note that 6+6 = 12 and 6*6 = 36 so the above factors into:

x (x+6)^2

which is choice b
