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.
2/3n + 6 + 3n - 2/3
In this case, we have two n-terms and two constants.
Both the n-terms and the constants can be combined. To simplify the expression we will rearrange it according to the Distributive Property to combine the like terms.
