Question

i have to combine like terms

Answer 1

The key to using and understanding the method of Combining Like Terms is to understand like terms and be able to identify when a pair of terms is a pair of like terms. Some examples of like terms are presented below.

The following are like terms because each term consists of a single variable, x, and a numeric coefficient.

2x, 45x, x, 0x, -26x, -x

Each of the following are like terms because they are all constants.

15, -2, 27, 9043, 0.6

Each of the following are like terms because they are all y2 with a coefficient.

3y2, y2, -y2, 26y2

Answer 2

so if you get what like terms are - then to combine them you just add up the coefficients

Answer 3

so 3x + 2x = 5x , because I just added up the 3 and the 2
