I can simplify algebraic expressions by combining like terms.
- 1
Simplifying a polynomial involves identifying like terms that can be combined into a single term.

Like terms have the exact same variable part, which means the same letter raised to the same power.
- 3
To combine like terms, you add or subtract the number parts (coefficients) and keep the variable part the same.
