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 add like terms?

Back

To add like terms, combine their coefficients. For example, 3x + 5x = (3 + 5)x = 8x.

What is the result of 13 + 6k + 11k - 10?

Back

3 + 17k

Front

What is the result of W - 10 + 9W - 3?

Back

10W - 13

What is the result of 12X - 8 - 12?

Back

12X - 20

Front

What is a coefficient in an algebraic expression?

Back

A coefficient is a numerical factor in a term of an algebraic expression. For example, in 4x, 4 is the coefficient.

Front

What is a constant in an algebraic expression?

Back

A constant is a term that does not contain any variables. For example, in the expression 5x + 3, 3 is a constant.

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.
