like for or we use + and for 'and' we use multiplication
A binomial has two terms, while a trinomial has 3 terms. So both terms of the binomial will multiply each term of the trinomial (distribution property). After the multiplication you'll have 6 terms. Look for like terms, if there are, combine them.
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.

Combine 'like' terms.

FOIL is a way to combine terms through multiplication. Factoring is a way to break down terms through division.
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.

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
You can combine like terms - combine the terms that have a "t" in them; separately, combine the terms that don't.
Combine 'like' terms.
Unlike terms are terms in an equation that are different. These terms cannot be combined. Like terms, however, can be combined.
It is: 2x and 5x are like terms Addition: 2x+5x = 7x Multiplication: 2x*5x = 10x2
