What is the value of z???

What are “like terms”? why can we only add like terms?

Aquantity with an initial value of 3900 decays exponentially at a rate of 35% every hour. what is the value of the quantity after 0.5 days, to the nearest hundredth?

Me solve this problem, and someone clearly explain to me how to solve it.1.) use the value of the discriminant to determine if the given trinomials has 2 real solutions, 1 real solution, or no real solutions. a.  x2  − 4x  − 7 = 0b. 4r2  + 11r  − 3 = 0c. 3m2  + 7 = 0d.  t2  + 2t  + 1 = 0
