COMBINE LIKE TERMS Flashcard Review A

Combining like terms means to simplify an expression by adding or subtracting terms that have the same variable raised to the same power.

The expression is $$25h + 15$$ , where h is the number of hours worked.

The simplified expression is $$2x - 8$$ .

The result is $$k - 7$$ .

You combine like terms to get $$2a + 2b + 4$$ .

The simplified form is $$9x + 1$$ .

Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same power, such as $$3x$$ and $$5x$$ .

The first step is to identify and group the like terms together.

The simplified form is $$2x + 8y$$ .

To simplify an expression means to reduce it to its simplest form by combining like terms and performing any possible operations.
