Mark and Maria are sales clerks at a local department store. Each earns $5.35 an hour. Maria works 24 hours per week, and Mark works 32 hours per week. Write 2 expressions to represent the amount the two of them earn per week.
Combining Like Terms
1. When you combine like terms, find variables that have the same letters (to the same powers). Group them together…
Remember to keep the negative signs with variables that are being subtracted…
2. Add the coefficients of the like terms together. The variable part of the expression remains the same.
Like Terms Example
xxxyxxyx 243453 22
)35()24()43( 22 xyxyxxxx
xyxx 862
Like Terms**
Definition: Terms that contain the same variables, with corresponding variables to the same power.
Example: In the expression
3xy + y – xy + 3x + 4y
Equivalent Expressions**
Definition: Algebraic expressions that denote the same number, or share the same simplest form.
Example: 2x – 3 + 4x and 6x – 3 are equivalent expressions.
Simplest Form**
Definition: An expression is in simplest form when it is replaced by an equivalent expression having no like terms or parenthesis.
Example: Write 5x + 3(x + 2) in simplest form
8x + 6
Simplest Form*
1. Remove all parenthesis. (Distribute)
2. Identify like terms and combine (add coefficients).
