How would you combine like terms on the following and what would the new expression look like? Hint: you will be selecting two answers.

• add 3z with 7z

• subtract 3z and 7z

What is the firs step in solving for the variable?

• Distributive property

• Combine Like Terms

• Move the variables to the same side

• Solve for the variable

Simplify by combining like terms: 7v + 2 + 12 + 2v

• 23

• 23v

• 9 + 14v

• 9v + 14

After combining like terms in the following equation, what would be the result: 64x + 48 = -8x - 22 + 2x

• 64x + 48 = -10x -22

• 112 = -28x

• 64x + 48 = -6x - 22

What is the first step you should take to solve this problem?

• subtract 8n to both sides

• multiply 6n to both sides

• combine the like terms 4n + -6n

• add 1 to both sides

What is the first step you should take to solve this problem?

1 + 4n - 6n = 1 - 8n

• subtract 8n to both sides

• multiply 6n to both sides

• combine the like terms 4n + -6n

• add 1 to both sides

Answer explanation

The first step is to combine like terms, specifically 4n and -6n, to simplify the equation. This will help in reducing the equation to a more manageable form before further operations.

What is the first step to solve this equation?
3x + 6 = 10 + 3x + 4x

• Add 4x to both sides of the equation

• Combine like terms 3x and 4x on the same side of the equation

• Add 3x and 6 to get 9x

• Add 6 and 10 to get 16

What is a simpler way to write this equation?

• 6h + 2h = 50

• 8h = 50

• 6h - 3 + 2h = 53

• 8h - 3 = 53
