Helpful Hint
Compatible numbers help you do math
mentally. Try to make multiples of 5
or 10. They are simpler to use when
multiplying.

The Distributive Property is used with Addition to
Simplify Expressions.
The Distributive Property also works with
subtraction because subtraction is the same as
adding the opposite.

1-7 Simplifying Expressions
The terms of an expression are the parts to be
added or subtracted. Like terms are terms that
contain the same variables raised to the same
powers. Constants are also like terms.
Like terms

1-7 Simplifying Expressions
A coefficient is a number multiplied by a
variable. Like terms can have different
coefficients. A variable written without a
coefficient has a coefficient of 1.

Using the Distributive Property can help you
combine like terms. You can factor out the
common factors to simplify the expression.
7x2 – 4x2 = (7 – 4)x2
= (3)x2
Factor out x2 from both terms.
Perform operations in
parenthesis.
= 3x2
Notice that you can combine like terms by
adding or subtracting the coefficients and
keeping the variables and exponents the same.
