I REALLY NEED HELP Explain why constant terms expressed as different rational number types can be combined.

Constants, as the name suggest, stay constant, meaning that their value never changes. For example, 2 will always be 2 and 9.4 will always be 9.4. On the other hand, the values of variables can change. Take, for example, the variable 2x. When x = 1, 2x = 2 and when x =2, 2x = 4 so the value of 2x can change depending on what x is. You can't combine constants and variables because they are not like terms, basically, one can change and the other can't and you cannot combine terms that are not like each other.

I REALLY HOPE THIS HELPS!!!<3

it's d.

step-by-step explanation:

because: -1(4x + 1y) +2 (1x-3y) distribute each number into the parenthesis.

then you would get: -4x - 1y + 2x -6y combine like terms

and get: 2x -7y

hope my answer has you if not then i'm sorry.

you already gave the answer
