Explanation:

Combining like terms is commonly used to solve algebraic expressions. Like terms are those species or variables that are the same in any algebraic representation.

Different mathematical operations can be performed on like species. We can add, divide, multiply, subtract, factorize, etc those terms.

Take for example;

Solve;

5x + 3 = 4x + 6

To solve this simply collect the like terms;

5x and 4x, 3 and 6 are like terms

5x - 4x = 6 - 3

x = 3

This is one way of solving problems by collecting like terms.

Steve picks 55 pounds of pears. He packs an equal amount of pears into 6 bags. He then has 4 pounds of pears left. What is the w

Serggg [28]

Because he has 4 pounds of apples left, you are to subtract that from the total pounds picked, which was a total of 55 pounds. So 55 with 4 taken away, or 55 - 4, equals 51. Since he had equally put 51 pounds into six bags, you are to then divide . 51 / 6 = 8.5. He had put 8.5 pounds worth of apples into each bag.
