This formative focuses on combining like terms involving multiple variables. Students will practice simplifying expressions by correctly identifying and adding or subtracting like terms.
Simplify the expression: 3x + 4y - 2x + 7y
Combine like terms: 5a + 3b + 2a - 4b
Simplify the following expression: 6m - 3n + 4m + 2n
Combine like terms in the expression: 2x + 9y - 5x - 3y
Simplify using the distributive property: 3(2x + 4)
Simplify the expression: -2(3y - 5)
Simplify using the distributive property: 4(-x + 2)
Simplify the expression: -3(5m + 4n)
Evaluate the expression for x = 2 and y = 3: 4x + 5y
Factor the expression: 12x + 8
