(+3) +(+2) Model (+3)+(+2) using integer tiles. x x2 =+5 Model (+3x)+(+2x) using algebra tiles. 3x + 2x = 5x
3x +1 +(-3) +2x Model 3x+1+2x-3 using algebra tiles. = 5x-2
Every term has a numerical coefficient and a literal coefficient. Like terms have the same literal coefficients. Simplifying is the process of collecting like terms together.
