Manipulating Equations
Collecting Like Terms
1.
Here we only have terms, so we can add them together:
2.
We have a similar situation to problem 1, but this time with terms. We can combine them by adding their coefficients:
3.
Here we have three different terms in the mix (, and ) so we need to be a little more careful. We can only combine coefficients if they represent the same term. Separate the expression into terms of , and as follows:
Now combine the coefficients of the like terms:
4.
This is another case with three distinct terms (, and ). Combine the coefficients of like terms:
5.
