like terms

• Numbers that can be simplified because the are like each other

• Expressions with exponents

• Algebraic expressions

• Numbers that equal

Terms that can be combined.

• Like Terms

• Operation

• Exponent

• Expression

The number part of a term that includes a variable.

• Constant

• Term

• Variable

• Coefficient

Terms that have the same variables such as 5x and -8x.

• like terms

• coefficients

• exponents

• variables

Identify one set of Like Terms in the expression: 6c-9+8n-c

• -9, 8n

• 6c, 8n

• 6c, -c

• -9, -c
