Practice Combining Like Terms with Negative Coefficients
Practice Problems
Now it's your turn to try combining like terms. Here are seven problems to practice. As before, there is a video at the bottom of the page if you need more help.
- Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression:
\(4z-(-3z) = \)
- Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression:
\(-3k-(-8) + 2\)
- Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression:
\(-n+(-3) + 3n+5\)
- Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression:
\(-4r - 2r+5\)
- Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression:
\(-k-(-8k)\)
- Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression:
\(-12-6p-(-2)\)
- Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression:
\(2r+1+(-4r)+7\)
