Exploring Linear Expression Operations

This video tutorial covers the process of adding and subtracting linear expressions. It begins with an introduction to linear expressions and demonstrates how to combine them by filling in an invisible one to distribute signs across terms. The tutorial then explains how to combine like terms to simplify expressions. Finally, it covers the subtraction of linear expressions, again focusing on distributing signs and combining like terms to reach a simplified result.

What is the first step in adding linear expressions?

• Combine like terms

• Subtract the constants

• Fill in the invisible one

• Distribute the plus sign
