What property can you use to combine two like terms to get a single term?
You don't use a 'property" to combine like terms, you use an "operation". To combine like terms, use the following operations:Addition: 4x+3x=7xSubtraction: 4x-3x=1x=xMultiplication/Division:4x = 2x + y-2x + 4x = 2x + y -2x2x = y1/2 * 2x = y * 1/2x = y/2check: x,y=(10,20)4*10 = 2*10+2040 = 20+2040 = 40 = true==============You are absolutely right! I stand corrected: But if the asker wants to know, it is the distributive property of like terms which makes combing them possible as illustrated in the examples, above. Thanks.-----You can use the distributive property to combine like terms.For example, take 3x+5x. By using the distributive property, this is the same as x(3+5). Since 3+5=8, the sum of 3x and 5x is 8x.

What is a like term in math?
Two terms that have the same variables and you can combine them in addition. For example, 3x and 34x have the same variable, and when you add them, they combine to form 37x. 4y and 4 do not have the same variable and you cannot combine them in addition. For example, 4y + 4 equals 4y + 4; it cannot be simplified or combined.
