Question 22997
Yes it is!


R^2 at SCC


P.S.  I seem to have missed posting a lesson plan that might be helpful related to this question.  I have it on my website if you care to look at it.  Go to my website by clicking on my tutor name "rapaljer" anywhere in algebra.com, then click on "Basic Algebra", then "Samples from Basic Algebra One Step", then go to "Chapter 1", and look for "Like Terms and Distibutive Property".  That section addresses a lot of terminology questions and a lot of small issues that we who know math take for granted.  Here is the URL for this, in case you can click on the following and go there directly:

I'll try to get it posted also to algebra.com as a lesson plan when I get a chance.
