Adding like terms.

Front

What are like terms?

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

How do you simplify the expression 2x + 1 + 7x?

Back

Combine like terms: 2x + 7x = 9x, so the expression simplifies to 9x + 1.

Front

What is the result of simplifying n + 10 + 9n + 3?

Back

Combine like terms: n + 9n = 10n and 10 + 3 = 13, so the expression simplifies to 10n + 13.

Front

How do you simplify the expression 6y + 3y + 9y + 7y?

Back

Combine like terms: 6y + 3y + 9y + 7y = 25y.

Front

What is the simplified form of 7v + 2 + 12 + 2v?

Back

Combine like terms: 7v + 2v = 9v and 2 + 12 = 14, so the expression simplifies to 9v + 14.

Front

How do you simplify 30y + 23 + 15?

Back

Combine like terms: 23 + 15 = 38, so the expression simplifies to 30y + 38.

Front

What is the first step in simplifying an expression with like terms?

Back

Identify and group the like terms together before combining them.

Front

Can constants be combined with like terms?

Back

No, constants are not like terms with variables. They can only be combined with other constants.

Front

What is the importance of simplifying expressions?

Back

Simplifying expressions makes them easier to work with and helps in solving equations more efficiently.

Front

What does it mean to combine like terms?

Back

Combining like terms means adding or subtracting the coefficients of terms that have the same variable.
