I am having alot of trouble with like terms. I checked out the tutorial on another site, but it didnt do much.
Here is an example problem from my book that I can't figure out:
3a^2(xy) + 5xa^2(y) - 2ya^2(x)
(NOTE: the ^ means "to the power of..." and the lettered variables next to an exponent are not part of it, so they are set in parentheses.)
Can anyone please tell me steps to solving these problems, thoroughly? It might be best to e-mail me a website or anything that you think might help me with this problem at shhs_pretzels@hotmail.com. So far it is all I don't understand!
