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 two or more terms inside a set of parentheses.

What does it mean to combine like terms?

Back

Combining like terms involves adding or subtracting terms that have the same variable raised to the same power.

What is the coefficient in a linear expression?

Back

The coefficient is the numerical factor that multiplies a variable in an expression. For example, in 3x, 3 is the coefficient.

What is a constant in an expression?

Back

A constant is a fixed value that does not change. In the expression 2x + 5, 5 is the constant.
