Simplify Expressions by Combining Like Terms

We will go over several examples of how to simplify rational expressions by combining like terms! If two terms have the same variables with the same exponents, then they are like terms and can be combined! We will discuss what is a like term and what is not, how to simplify expressions with exponents, and different strategies to make these problems EASY! If you are learning to add and subtract polynomials, then this video is for you!
