 Combining Like Terms
  Many algebra questions can be solved by just combining like terms and bringing the result down to fewer terms. You may even solve a problem, but you can't find your answer in the answer choices. Many times you can't find the answer because you haven't done the final step of Combining Like Terms.

Straight forward questions involving like terms are phrased in one of two ways.

  • Combine like terms in the following equation...

  • Simplify the following expression...
    •   Example: Simplify the following expression.

    18y + 4x - 2y + z

    Your first step should be to rearrange the equation by placing similar variables closer to each other.

    18y - 2y + 4x + z

    Then combine like terms.
