Instructions:
Simplify each expression by collecting like terms. Remember: like terms have the same variable part.
Section A: Two Variables
1.
3x + 5y + 2x + y = _________________________
2.
7a + 4b - 3a + 2b = _________________________
3.
5m - 2n + 3m + 6n = _________________________
4.
8p + 3q - 5p - q = _________________________
5.
6x - 4y - 2x + 7y = _________________________
Section B: With Constants
6.
4x + 7 + 2x - 3 = _________________________
7.
5a - 2 + 3a + 8 = _________________________
8.
9y + 4 - 3y - 1 = _________________________
9.
2m + 5n + 6 + 3m - n - 4 = _________________________
10.
7p - 3q + 9 - 2p + 5q - 6 = _________________________
Section C: Multiple Variables
11.
3x + 2y + 5z + x - 3y + 2z = _________________________
12.
6a - 4b + 2c - a + 5b - c = _________________________
13.
5m + 3n - 2p + 4m - n + 6p = _________________________
14.
8x - 3y + 7 + 2x + 5y - 4 - x = _________________________
15.
4a + 6b - 2c + 10 - 3a - b + 5c - 7 = _________________________
