Remember, only like terms can be combined.

There is no answer for this exercise
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. 6 yz+2 yz-8 yz In this case, we have three yz-terms, so to simplify the expression we will combine like terms.

6yz+2yz-8yz
6 * yz+2 * yz - 8 * yz
( 6+2-8 ) yz
0 * yz
