Two expressions on both sides of the equal sign are equivalent to one of them changing sign when switched over to the other side. For instance:
5x = 3x + 10
Is equivalent to:
5x - 3x = 10
That means that you can very well "combine" them, if you don't forget to switch the sign. As it were, you would be switching it over and combining in a single step.

What is the answer to 43 7w - 15 - 5w?
To simplify the expression (43 + 7w - 15 - 5w), first combine like terms. The constants (43 - 15) equal (28), and the terms with (w) combine as (7w - 5w) to give (2w). Thus, the simplified expression is (28 + 2w).
How do you simplify 3x 2y 5x-6y?
To simplify the expression (3x + 2y + 5x - 6y), combine like terms. First, combine the (x) terms: (3x + 5x = 8x). Then, combine the (y) terms: (2y - 6y = -4y). Thus, the simplified expression is (8x - 4y).
What do you do to combine like terms?

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.
What is 6y - 2 53 2.5y equal?
To simplify the expression (6y - 2 + 2.5y), combine the like terms. The terms (6y) and (2.5y) add up to (8.5y). Therefore, the expression simplifies to (8.5y - 2).
What is the answer to this equation -6 n -30?
Just to get you straight, that is actually an expression. Equations have equal signs in them. Just so you know. Anyway, it just so happens that this expression (-6n - 30) is already simplified. There are no like terms to combine there, since 30 does not have an "n".
What is a group of terms that are separated by an adding or subtracting signs it does not contain an equal sign?
That's a polynomial expression.
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.
What is the answer to 43 7w - 15 - 5w?
To simplify the expression (43 + 7w - 15 - 5w), first combine like terms. The constants (43 - 15) equal (28), and the terms with (w) combine as (7w - 5w) to give (2w). Thus, the simplified expression is (28 + 2w).
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.
To combine several or many terms into fewer terms?

How do you simplify 3x 2y 5x-6y?
To simplify the expression (3x + 2y + 5x - 6y), combine like terms. First, combine the (x) terms: (3x + 5x = 8x). Then, combine the (y) terms: (2y - 6y = -4y). Thus, the simplified expression is (8x - 4y).
Do combiming like terms mean the same as combine the expression?
