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
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.
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.

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.
3b-4-6b-5
-6k + 7k = k
The answer depends on how fluently you can work with fractions.
When you have an expression consisting of several terms added together, and they are not all like terms, and there are like terms separated by unlike terms, you use the commutative law of addition to rearrange the terms so that the like terms are next to each other.
