It there is a common factor in them. e.g.
3x + 6x + 7x + 5x^(2)
The '3x' , '6x', & '7x' re 'like terms, because they have the common factor of 'x' in them. However, 5x^(2) is an unlike term becasue the factor is 'x^(2)' , NOT 'x'.
So to combine LIKE TERMS the expression becomes 16x + 5x^(2)

How do you add like terms?
To add like terms, find the terms that have the same (or no) variable, and combine the coefficients of the terms. For instance, if you have a+b where a and b are real numbers, you can combine them.
How do you combine unlike terms?
Unlike terms are terms in an equation that are different. These terms cannot be combined. Like terms, however, can be combined.

When you combine like terms you are able to?
There is nothing that you can do when you combine like terms that you cannot do without combining them. Some procedures might be easier, though, if like terms are combined.

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
How do you simplify 21t plus 14-12t-30?
You can combine like terms - combine the terms that have a "t" in them; separately, combine the terms that don't.
How do you simplifly rational expressions?
Combine 'like' terms.
How do you simplify 3x 2y 5x-6y?
To simplify the expression (3x + 2y + 5x - 6y), combine like terms. First, combine the (x) terms: (3x + 5x = 8x). Then, combine the (y) terms: (2y - 6y = -4y). Thus, the simplified expression is (8x - 4y).
How do you combine unlike terms?
Unlike terms are terms in an equation that are different. These terms cannot be combined. Like terms, however, can be combined.
Combine like terms where possible 8y4 - 3y4?
5y4
How do you combine like terms with multiplication?

What is combining like terms in algebra?
All multiples of x are like terms, as all multiples of x2 are also like terms. To combine terms is simply to add them up. So if you have an equation such as, 3x2 + 4x2 + 2x + 6x + 10 = 0, you can combine the like terms; the result is 7x2 + 8x +10 = 0.
