Pre-Algebra
1-6 Combining Like Terms
Terms in an expression are separated by
plus or minus signs.
Like terms can be grouped together
because they have the same variable raised
to the same power.
Equivalent expressions have the same
value for all values of the variables.

Additional Example 1: Combining Like Terms To
Simplify
Combine like terms.
A. 14a – 5a
9a
Identify like terms.
B. 7y + 8 – 3y – 1 + y
Identify like terms ; the
coefficient of y is 1, because
1y = y.
5y + 7
Pre-Algebra
Combine coefficients: 14 – 5 = 9
Combine coefficients: 7 – 3 + 1 = 5
and 8 – 1 = 7

Additional Example 3: Simplifying Algebraic
Expressions by Combining Like Terms
Simplify 6(5 + n) – 2n.
6(5 + n) – 2n
6(5) + 6(n) – 2n
Distributive Property.
30 + 6n – 2n
6n and 2n are like terms.
30 + 4n
Combine coefficients 6 – 2 = 4

Additional Example 4: Solving Algebraic Expressions
by Combining Like Terms
Solve x + 3x = 48.
x + 3x = 48
4x = 48
Combine coefficients: 1 + 3 = 4
4x = 48
4
4
Divide both sides by 4.
x = 12
Pre-Algebra
Identify like terms. The coefficient of x is 1.
