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. For example, in -2x + 6x, you can combine to get 4x.

What is the Commutative Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Commutative Property of Multiplication states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product. For example, 6 x 7 = 7 x 6.

What is the difference between a coefficient and a constant?

Back

A coefficient is a number that multiplies a variable (e.g., in 4x, 4 is the coefficient), while a constant is a fixed value that does not change (e.g., in 5, 5 is a constant).
