Like Terms and Algebraic Expressions

The video tutorial by John East focuses on adding and subtracting like terms in algebraic expressions. It begins with an introduction to the concept of like terms, using analogies with apples and sheep to explain the idea. The tutorial then provides several examples of simplifying expressions by combining like terms, identifying like terms, and working with complex expressions. The video emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between similar but not like terms, providing clear examples and explanations throughout.
