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.

What is a coefficient?

Back

A coefficient is a numerical factor in a term. For example, in the term 4x, 4 is the coefficient.

What is a constant term?

Back

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

How do you combine like terms?

Back

To combine like terms, add or subtract their coefficients while keeping the variable part the same. For example, 2x + 3x = 5x.
