Question. Explain whether sorting the tiles with positive coefficients together and tiles with negative coefficients.
We need to explain whether sorting the tiles with positive coefficients together and tiles with negative coefficients.
Together help to simplify an expression that involves all the tiles.
The way of sorting the tiles with positive coefficients together and tiles with negative coefficients together will not help much.
Since we only add all the numbers alone and subtract the rest from them.
The main problem here exists with the numbers with variables.
We couldn’t able to do any arithmetic operations on them.
So, this won’t help much.

Also, it combines like terms to get the simplified form.
We can sort the expressions into two groups.
One having the numbers alone.
The other having both the numbers and variables in it.
We can group each group separately and then do arithmetic operations to simplify it.
We will decide in what way to reorder the terms of an expression. When simplifying it is by looking at the variables and constants and grouping them separately to simplify it.

Question. Explain why constant terms expressed as different rational number types can be combined.
We need to explain why constant terms expressed as different rational number types can be combined.
The constant terms expressed as different rational number types can be combined because can be grouped together since they are all like terms.
The constant terms don’t have a variable in them.
So it can be grouped. It can be simplified, grouped, and combined no matter what since they are all like terms.
Constant terms expressed as different rational number types can be combined because they are all like terms.

Question. Show that the given two expressions 11t – 4t is equivalent to 4t – 11t.
We need to explain whether 11t − 4t is equivalent to 4t −11t.
We need to support our answer by evaluating the expression for t = 2.
The expression 11t − 4t is not equivalent to 4t −11t.
