How to Combine Like Terms

Combining Like Terms is a way to simplify algebraic expressions or equations. When Combining Like Terms, what you are trying to do is to combine all of the terms with the same variable together with each other, or any constant term together. In order to do this you are going to either add or subtract the terms with one another. When doing this you will add or subtract the coefficients on the variables with other terms that have the same variable. If the term does not have a variable it is called a constant. All constants are like terms and can be added or subtracted from each other. The last step when Combining Like Terms is to ensure that the expression has been fully simplified.

Thank you my friend I'm learning 7th grade math to help my son with his homework & I swear steam is visibly escaping my ears

I've been trying to learn Coefficients for so long it's almost ridiculous. For the first time, I think I can actually solve them, so thank you so so much! This was incredibly helpful :)
