Combining Like Terms and Distributive Property Practice

Front

What are like terms?

Back

Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same power. For example, 3x and 5x are like terms, while 3x and 4y are not.

How do you combine like terms?

Back

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients of the terms that have the same variable. For example, 3x + 5x = 8x.

What is the Distributive Property?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. It allows you to multiply a single term by each term inside a parentheses.

What is a constant term?

Back

A constant term is a term that does not contain any variables. For example, in the expression 3x + 5, 5 is the constant term.
