Like Terms and Variables
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.
when u take a dump and see two identical turds you can combine their like terms :3
The expression 10x + 7 + 3x can be simplified by combining like terms. Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same power. In this case, the like terms are 10x and 3x, as they both have the variable x raised to the power of 1. Combining these like terms gives us 13x. Therefore, the simplified expression is 13x + 7.
Only if it contains an equality sign otherwise it is considered to be an expression
