Addition and Subtraction of linear expressions Flashcards
(20 cards)
What condition is necessary for addition and subtraction of algebraic expressions?
We can add or subtract like terms
Simplify the expression
2x + 3x

5x

Simplify the expression
4y + 5y

9y

Simplify the expression
6x + 3+ x

7x + 3

Simplify the expression
(2x + y) + (3x + 4y)

5x + 5y

Simplify the expression
6x - 2x
4x

Simplify the expression
12y - 10y
2y

Simplify the expression
3x - 2 - 2x - 1

First we combine the like terms

Simplify the expression
3x - 2 - 2x - 1

Finally
x - 3

Simplify the expression
7x + 2x
9x
Simplify the expression
7x + 2x + 2y
9x + 2y
Simplify the expression
7x + 2x + 2y + 4y
9x + 6y
Simplify the expression
7x + 2x + 2y + 4y + 3
9x + 6y + 3
Simplify the expression
7x + 2x + 2y + 4y + 3 + 2
9x + 6y + 5
Simplify the expression
7x - 2x
5x
Simplify the expression
7x - 2x + 9y
5x + 9y
Simplify the expression
7x - 2x + 9y - 5y
5x + 4y
Simplify the expression
7x + 9y - 2x - 5y
We rewrite as
7x - 2x + 9y - 5y
= 5x + 4y
Simplify the expression
7x - 9y - 2x - 5y
We rewrite as
7x - 2x - 9y - 5y
= 5x - 14y
Simplify the expression
7x - 9y - 2x + 5y
We rewrite as
7x - 2x - 9y + 5y
= 5x - 4y
