1. In the expression 4x + 5y, the terms are
and​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

As written, this problem unfortunately does not give enough information in order to evaluate the given algebraic expression, 4x + 5y. In order to evaluate the given algebraic expression, we must first know what x and y are equal to, or we must first know what one of the two variables is equal to, for example, x = 3, and what the other variable is defined as in terms of the other, for example, y = x + 4.

For example, if x = 5 and y = -2, then:

4x + 5y = 4(5) + 5(-2)

= 20 + (-10)

= 10 is the value of the given algebraic expression if x = 5 and y = -2.
