Simplifying Algebraic Expressions

In this video, Jed explains how to collect like terms in algebraic expressions. Starting with basic examples, he demonstrates how to simplify expressions by combining terms with the same variables and coefficients. The video covers handling different variables, the impact of power differences, and simplifying non-identical terms. Jed concludes with a complex example that integrates all the concepts discussed, providing a comprehensive understanding of collecting like terms.
