"Combine like terms" means you have to join 2 or more similar terms into one term. Doing this can simplify an equation or expression. For example,
10x+3+7x
10x and 7x are like terms. Therefore, the coefficients 10 and 7 can be added together. So:
10x+3+7x=17x+3

What does tri mean in math terms?
In any terms it is a combining form meaning 'three'
What does in mean to simplify an algebraic expression by combining like terms?
If you have a expression that goes; 2x + 5x etc etc Simplifying the like terms is 7x 2x and 5x are like terms, but 2y and 2x are not. The variable needs to be the same.
Combining like terms 4 5z plus 3 -8?
If you mean: 4+5z+3-8 then it is 5z-1
What does it mean to simplify an algebraic expression?
It means to rewrite the expression so that it is in its simplest form. You can do this by combining like terms. For example: The equation 2x + 3x = 5 can be simplified to 5x = 5 by combining the "x's".
-4x plus 5x combining like terms?
That equals x.
What is combining like terms?
In Math combining like terms is like so if the equation is 4a+4=2a you combined the 4 and the 5 because they are both A

What are the rules for combining like terms?
When combining like terms like 2x+3x we add their coeffitients, for example 2x+3x=(2+3)x=5x
Do combiming like terms mean the same as combine the expression?
no, combining like terms means combine the terms that are the same 15+x+6+x=28 combine like terms 21+2x=28 2x=7 x=3.5
What is the last step when multiplying binomials?
Combining like terms.
Combining like terms 4 5z plus 3 -8?
If you mean: 4+5z+3-8 then it is 5z-1
Is x and y like terms?
No. For purposes of combining "like terms", you need terms that have exactly the same variables, with the same exponents (if there are any).

-4x plus 5x combining like terms?
That equals x.
How do you simplify by combining like terms?
You add (or subtract) like terms. This will reduce the number of terms in the expression and that is the extent of simplification that you can achieve using this process.
