Exercise 63 Page 320

Remember, only like terms can be combined.

8m + 3

Practice makes perfect

The first step in simplifying this expression is to identify which, if any, terms can be combined. Remember, only like terms — constant terms or terms with the same variable — can be combined. 3 - 3m + 11m In this case, we have two m-terms and one constant. Only the m-terms can be combined, so to simplify the expression we will combine like terms and then rearrange it according to the Commutative Property of Addition.

3 - 3m + 11m
