• What is the first step to simplify expressions?

  Combine like terms
• What are like terms?

  Terms with the same variable and exponent
• What does a variable represent?

  A letter representing a number value
• What does an exponent indicate?

  How many times to multiply the term
• How do you combine the like terms 10x and -3x?

  10x - 3x = x
• What is the sum of +2 and +4?

  6
• What does the distributive property involve?

  Multiplying a number by terms inside parentheses
• What is the result of distributing 8 to (2y + 3)?

  16y + 24
• What is the simplified form of 7x and 2x?

  9x
• What do you get when you distribute 3 to (2x + 3)?

  6x + 9
• How do you combine 6x and -5x?

  6x - 5x = x
• Why can't you combine y^2 and y?

  They have different exponents
• What is the sum of 3y and 2y?

  5y
• How do you write the expression for three y's added together?

  3y
• What does y times y times y equal?

  y^3
• What are the key steps to simplify expressions?

  • Combine like terms
  • Use distributive property
  • Identify terms with the same variable and exponent
• What are the characteristics of like terms?

  • Same variable
  • Same exponent
  • Can be combined through addition or subtraction
• What is the difference between addition and multiplication of variables?

  • Addition combines coefficients
  • Multiplication uses exponents
• What are the results of combining terms with exponents?

  • Only terms with the same exponent can be combined
  • Different exponents remain separate
