Question

how do I simify by combining like terms​

Answer 1

Answer:  Like terms are combined together in algebraic expression so that the result of the expression can be calculated with ease. For example, 7xy + 6y + 6xy is an algebraic equation who's like terms are 7xy and 6xy. Therefore, this expression can be simplified by combining like terms as 7xy + 6xy + 6y = 13xy + y.

Answer 2

Answer:

If in a equation there are numbers that have the same letters you can just add them or subtract them depending on the signs.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example this equation:

2x + 7b - 7x + 9b + 1a - 22a

So you just put them in different categories(Remember to bring them with the sign that's in front of each number) after that you just add or subtract them

category x(only numbers that have x's go here):     +2x-7x  = -5x

category b (only numbers that have b's go here):    +7b+9b = +16b

category a (only numbers that have a go here):       +1s-22b = -21a

now just put them in the same equation:

-5x+16-21a

and done!^^

Hope this example helped~
