There are several things you can do to simplify expressions. Specifically for expressions with several terms, two things you can do is to combine similar terms (terms that have the same combination of variables), and then (usually after combining), see if you can apply one of the common methods of factoring, such as looking for common factors, looking for a perfect cube, factoring the difference of squares, the sum or difference of cubes, etc.

How do you simplify 10n - 4n?
To simplify the expression (10n - 4n), you combine the like terms. Subtract (4n) from (10n) to get (6n). Therefore, the simplified expression is (6n).
What does simplify the expression mean?
to simplify an expression means to take all the like terms and make them one. for example if the expression is 2x+5x+1x-4 , you would simplify it by adding 2x,5x,&1x because they are all alike... it would become 8x-4
What is the answer when you combine like terms to simplify the expression when it is 14t plus 15-2t?
12t + 15
How do you simplify 8x - 8 - 4x - 3 3x?
To simplify the expression 8x - 8 - 4x - 3 - 3x, first combine like terms. Start by combining the x terms: 8x - 4x - 3x = x. Then, combine the constant terms: -8 - 3 = -11. Therefore, the simplified expression is x - 11.
What does in mean to simplify an algebraic expression by combining like terms?
If you have a expression that goes; 2x + 5x etc etc Simplifying the like terms is 7x 2x and 5x are like terms, but 2y and 2x are not. The variable needs to be the same.
