What this Writing, Evaluating and Simplifying Algebraic Expressions quiz checks
- A term is a part of an expression separated by + or −.
- A coefficient multiplies a variable: in 7y, the coefficient is 7.
- To evaluate, substitute the value and use the order of operations.
- a(b + c) = ab + ac is the distributive property.
- Like terms have the same variable part and can be combined: 6x + 2x = 8x.
