Question:

The model below represents an equation.

2 long x tiles and 3 square y tiles = 3 long x tiles

Which represent like terms in the model of the equation?

2 long x tiles and  3 long x tiles are like terms

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2 long x tiles and 3 square y tiles = 3 long x tiles

Required

Identify the like terms

Represent long with a and square with b.

So, we have:

2a x and 3b y = 3a x

and, as used here means addition

So:

Collect like terms

See that 3ax and 2ax are evaluated without any barrier.

This means that they are like terms

point a is the center of the circle that passes through points e, f, and g and the center of the circle that passes through points x, y, and z.
