Like Terms and Variables
When combining like terms like 2x+3x we add their coeffitients, for example 2x+3x=(2+3)x=5x
When combining like terms, you could add and multiply. It depends on what the problem is. I am in 6th grade and currently learning algebra. I know that my answer is correct because I already learned this.
That's not an equation. It need a = sign before you can solve it. However you can simplify it by combining like factors
Unlike terms are terms in an equation that are different. These terms cannot be combined. Like terms, however, can be combined.
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
combining like terms or subtracting from both sides of the equation.
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".
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.

Combining like terms.
"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
No. For purposes of combining "like terms", you need terms that have exactly the same variables, with the same exponents (if there are any).
That equals x.
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.
