Collecting Like Terms and Simplifying Expressions

Algebra: This video will cover collecting like terms and simplifying algebraic expressions. We will explain what a "like term" is and how to then collect these terms together which is the first step to simplifying an expression. We will then show you how to write the expression in its simplest form. Practice questions at the end of the video.
