Simplifying Algebraic Expressions

What is the number called that is multiplied by a variable in an algebraic expression ?

• variable

• constant

• coefficient

• term

True or False ? - Like terms are terms that have the same variables and powers.

For terms to be considered "like" the _________ do not need to match.

The first step in simplifying an algebraic expression is to

• identify like terms

• multiply like terms

• divide like term

• solve for x

Another word that means the same as "grouping" like terms.

• none of the above

• erasing

• subtracting

• collecting

Simplify 7y + 8 - 5y

• 16 - 5y

• 2y + 8

• 12y + 8

• -2y + 8

• 5x -7

I learned how to Simplify Algebraic Expressions by identifying, collecting and combining like terms.
