Simplifying Algebraic Expressions
Completion requirements
You can use two main tools to simplify or rewrite algebraic expressions: combining like terms and using the distributive property. Watch this lecture series and complete the interactive exercises to practice these skills.
Combining like terms with rational coefficients - Questions
1. Combine like terms to create an equivalent expression. \( −2.5(4x−3)\)
2. Combine like terms to create an equivalent expression. \(1.3b+7.8−3.2b\)
3. Combine like terms to create an equivalent expression. \(-\frac{2}{3} p+\frac{1}{5}-1+\frac{5}{6} p\)
Enter any coefficients as simplified proper or improper fractions or integers.
4. Combine like terms to create an equivalent expression. \(\frac{1}{7}-3\left(\frac{3}{7} n-\frac{2}{7}\right)\)
Enter any coefficients as simplified proper or improper fractions or integers.
