Front

What is the result of simplifying the expression 8 - 20c?

Back

The expression is already simplified. It represents a linear expression in terms of c.

Front

What does the expression -2 + 5k represent?

Back

It is a linear expression where -2 is the constant term and 5k is the term with the variable k.

Front

How do you simplify the expression -20p - 7?

Back

The expression is already in its simplest form, representing a linear expression in terms of p.

Front

What is a linear expression?

Back

A linear expression is an algebraic expression in which each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and a single variable.

Front

Back

The coefficient is 5, which is the number multiplying the variable k.

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.

Front

What is a constant term in an expression?

Back

A constant term is a term that does not contain any variables, such as -2 in the expression -2 + 5k.

Front

How do you identify like terms in an expression?

Back

Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same power. For example, 5c and -3c are like terms.

Front

What is the process of combining like terms?

Back

Combining like terms involves adding or subtracting the coefficients of like terms to simplify the expression.

Front

What is the significance of the negative sign in front of a term?

Back

A negative sign indicates that the term is being subtracted or that its value is less than zero.
