Combining like terms4

Front

What does it mean to combine like terms in an algebraic expression?

Back

Combining like terms means to simplify an expression by adding or subtracting terms that have the same variable raised to the same power.

Front

Identify the like terms in the expression: 2a + 3b - 5b + 7a.

Back

The like terms are 2a and 7a (both are 'a' terms) and 3b and -5b (both are 'b' terms).

Front

What is the result of combining the like terms in the expression: 2a + 3b - 5b + 7a?

Back

The result is 9a - 2b.

Front

How do you combine like terms in the expression: b - 3n + 12 - 6b + 2n?

Back

Combine the 'b' terms (b - 6b) and the 'n' terms (-3n + 2n) to get -5b - n + 12.

What is the simplified form of the expression: 6x + 2x + 1 + 4?

Back

The simplified form is 8x + 5.

Front

In the expression 3 + 2c + 5c + 2, what are the like terms?

Back

The like terms are 2c and 5c (both are 'c' terms) and 3 and 2 (constant terms).

Front

What is the result of combining the like terms in the expression: 3 + 2c + 5c + 2?

Back

The result is 7c + 5.

Front

How do you combine the terms in the expression: 6x + 1 + 7x?

Back

Combine the 'x' terms (6x + 7x) to get 13x + 1.

Front

What is a constant term in an algebraic expression?

Back

A constant term is a term that does not contain any variables and remains the same regardless of the value of the variables.

Front

What is the first step in combining like terms?

Back

The first step is to identify and group the like terms in the expression.
