Combining Like Terms and Distributive Property

Front

Define 'Like Terms' in algebra.

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.

Front

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 set of parentheses.

Front

Simplify by combining like terms: 5a + 2b - 3a + 4

Back

2a + 2b + 4

Front

Combine like terms: n - 10 + 9n - 3

Back

10n - 13

Front

Which terms can be combined in the expression: 3x + 7 - 9x + 24y + 2x²?

Back

3x and -9x

Front

Use the Distributive Property to simplify: 3(2c - 5)

Back

6c - 15

Front

Use the Distributive Property to simplify: -4(3k - 7)

Back

-12k + 28

Front

What is the first step in combining like terms?

Back

Identify and group the like terms together.

Front

What is the result of combining the like terms: 4x + 3x - 2x?

Back

5x

If you have the expression 2a + 3b + 4a, what is the simplified form?

Back

6a + 3b
