PREP Algebra Unit 3 Spiral Review

How can you describe the parts of an expression?

By Susan Kahler

​For example 6x-4+3-5x

Like terms are 6x-4+3-5x

Add the terms ​6x+(-5x)+(-4)+(+3)

The sign in front of the term is crucial!!!​

1. Use circles, underlines, or a highlighter to identify like terms INCLUDING THE SIGN IN FRONT OF IT

2. Combine the terms by adding like terms together

Some text here about the topic of discussion

Use the signs in front of the terms.

Only terms that share the same variable (raised to the same power) can be combined.

Always ADD the terms together but remember to look at the signs before it!

TEK 6.7D

• The distributive property allows us to multiply each term inside parentheses by the number outside the parentheses. 

• 4(3 + 4) = 4(3) + 4(4)

• Multiply 5 times x

• Multiply 5 times 6

• We multiply the outside number by all terms on the inside of the parentheses.

Make sure you have gotten 80% or better so you can get full points in the gradebook!

You can also go back and practice again to make sure you are ready for your exit ticket!
