How do you combine like terms?

Back

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients of the terms that are alike. For example, in 5b + 3b, you add the coefficients (5 + 3) to get 8b.

What is the distributive property?

Back

The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. It allows you to multiply a single term by each term inside a parenthesis.
