SIMPLIFYING EXPRESSIONS #1

Directions: For each expression below, simplify the expression by combining like terms. Any two terms can be
added/subtracted as long as they contain the same variable(s) and the same exponents. Terms that have different
variables or exponents must be kept separated. Write the simplified expression on the line provided.

Examples: 5 x + 2 y + 8 x = 13 x + 2 y 5x 2 + 2 y + 8x + 2 x 2 = 7 x 2 + 8x + 2 y

1) 10 x + 3 y + 5 x = _____________________ 2) 2 x 2 + 7 y + 4 x + 6 x 2 = _____________________

3) 9 y + 3 y + 5 x = _____________________ 4) 2 y 2 + 7 y + 4 y + 6 y 2 = _____________________

5) 8 x + y 2 x = _____________________ 6) x 2 + 7 y 4 y + 9 x 2 = _____________________

7) 14 x 3x + 2 y y + 3 x = ____________________ 8) 5 y 2 + 5 y + 5 y + 5 x 2 = _____________________

9) 23x + 3 y 5 x = _____________________ 10) 18 x 2 + 3 y + x + 6 x 2 = _____________________
