sample problem
9b + 3a - a + 6+ 2b + 4
terms would be each number or number plus a variable separated by an operation symbol (+ or -)
like terms would be 9b and 2b, 3a and -a, and 6 and 4
simply add 9b + 2b (which is 11b)
3a-a (which is 2a)
and 6 + 4 (which is 10)
your answer would then be 11b + 2a + 10
hope that helped

When you combine like terms you are able to?
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.

How do you add like terms?
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.

Do combiming like terms mean the same as combine the expression?
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
How do you simplify 21t plus 14-12t-30?
You can combine like terms - combine the terms that have a "t" in them; separately, combine the terms that don't.
How do you simplifly rational expressions?
Combine 'like' terms.
How do you combine unlike terms?
Unlike terms are terms in an equation that are different. These terms cannot be combined. Like terms, however, can be combined.

What is combining like terms in algebra?
All multiples of x are like terms, as all multiples of x2 are also like terms. To combine terms is simply to add them up. So if you have an equation such as, 3x2 + 4x2 + 2x + 6x + 10 = 0, you can combine the like terms; the result is 7x2 + 8x +10 = 0.
How do you identify like terms?
To identify like terms you look at the variables in the terms for example; 4X,3d,2X2,32d the only like terms in there are 32d and 3d because the variable has to be to the same power Thanks for making me feel like a teacher hee hee ur welcome :]
