How do you combined like terms? Equation Below:
Solve -3 1/2=1/2 x +1/2 x + x. I'm stuck :/

Question

Combining like terms just means collecting the terms together that are similar, so for example you need to collect all of the numbers together into a single number, and add up how many x's you have in total. Do you understand?

kind of

So for example, if you had x+2x+3x then in total you would have 6x. Just do the same kind of thing for your question, let me know if you're still struggling.
