Can you combine terms with different variables? Why or why not?

• Yes, because they can be simplified together.

• No, you cannot combine terms with different variables because they represent different quantities.

• Yes, as long as they have the same coefficient.

• No, because they are always equal to each other.

What are like terms?

• Terms in an algebraic expression that have different variables.

• Terms in an algebraic expression that have the same variable(s) raised to the same power.

• Terms that can be added together regardless of their variables.

• Terms that are always positive in an algebraic expression.

How do you handle constants when combining like terms?

• Constants are combined separately from variable terms; add or subtract them as you would with regular numbers.

• Constants should be ignored when combining like terms.

• Constants can only be combined if they are the same type.

• Constants must be multiplied before combining with variable terms.
