Combining Like Terms (6th grade)

What is the first step in combining like terms?

• Identify the like terms in the expression.

• Add the coefficients of the like terms.

• Rewrite the expression in standard form.

• Multiply the like terms together.

Combine the like terms: 44h + 48 + 23h + 9 + 2h

• 69h + 57

• 70h + 56

• 68h + 58

• 65h + 60

What does it mean to simplify an expression?

• To combine like terms and reduce it to its simplest form.

• To make an expression longer and more complex.

• To change the variables in an expression to different values.

• To eliminate all variables from an expression.

Combine the like terms: 4x + 8y + 2x + 10 + 4x

• 10x + 8y + 10

• 8x + 8y + 10

• 6x + 8y + 10

• 10x + 10y + 10

Why is it important to combine like terms?

• It makes expressions more complex and harder to understand.

• It helps in simplifying expressions, making them easier to work with and understand.

• It allows for the introduction of new variables into the equation.

• It is a necessary step in solving equations without any benefits.

Combine the like terms: 12c + 9 + 3s + 5c + c

• 17c + 3s + 9

• 18c + 3s + 8

• 18c + 3s + 9

• 19c + 3s + 7

What is the coefficient in the term 7y?

• 5

• 7

• 3

• 10

How do you combine like terms?

• Add or subtract the coefficients of the terms that have the same variable.

• Multiply the coefficients of the terms that have the same variable.

• Divide the coefficients of the terms that have different variables.

• Ignore the coefficients and only focus on the variables.

What are like terms?

• Terms that have different variables

• Terms that have the same variable raised to the same power

• Terms that are always positive

• Terms that can be added together regardless of their variables

Combine the like terms: 12g + 6f + 5g + 12g + 33 + g + 21

• 6f + 30g + 54

• 6f + 28g + 54

• 6f + 30g + 50

• 6f + 32g + 54
