Solve Equations with Combining Like Terms Practice - A

Front

Define 'Like Terms' in algebra.

Back

Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same power. For example, 3x and 5x are like terms, while 3x and 4y are not.

Front

What is the process of combining like terms?

Back

Combining like terms involves adding or subtracting coefficients of terms that have the same variable and exponent. For example, 3x + 5x = 8x.

Front

Simplify: 3y + 5x^2 + 10x + 2x^2 + 15x - 3y

Back

7x^2 + 25x

Front

Simplify: 5x^2 + 5y + 2x^2 + 4y^2 - 4x^2 + 2y^2 - 4y

Back

3x^2 + 6y^2 + y

Front

Simplify: 4f^2 + 3h - g + f

Back

Can't be simplified

Front

Simplify: -24 - 13x - 18x + 24

Back

-31x

Front

Simplify: 4x^2 + 9x + 10 + 3x^2 + 7x + 2

Back

7x^2 + 16x + 12

Front

What is the degree of a polynomial?

Back

The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in the polynomial. For example, in 4x^3 + 2x^2 + 5, the degree is 3.

Front

What is a coefficient in algebra?

Back

A coefficient is a numerical factor in a term of an algebraic expression. For example, in 5x^2, 5 is the coefficient.

Front

What does it mean to simplify an expression?

Back

To simplify an expression means to combine like terms and reduce it to its simplest form.
