Solve for f: 8(5f - 7) + 3f = ?

Back

43f - 56

Front

What are like terms in an expression?

Back

Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same power. For example, 3x and -9x are like terms.

Front

Combine like terms: 3x + 7 - 9x + 24y + 2x^2 = ?

Back

-6x + 24y + 2x^2

Front

What is the process to isolate a variable in an equation?

Back

To isolate a variable, perform inverse operations to both sides of the equation until the variable is alone on one side.

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation 3a = 12?

Back

Divide both sides by 3.

Front

What does it mean to simplify an expression?
