What are like terms?
Like-terms are two or more terms that have the same variable and exponent and can be combined through addition or subtraction.
2x2y2*x2y2
2x4y4
3x(4x+2)
12x2+6x
2y(y-4)
2y2-8y
Solve for x:
2x - 5 = 15
x=10
What is an exponent?
The small number on top of a variable or number that shows how many times a term will be multiplied by itself
3x3y(2xy2)
6x4y3
(x-2)(5x-1)
5x2-11x+2
(m-4)(4m-2)
4m2-18m+8
Find the next term in the arithmetic sequence: 2, 8, 14...

What is a coefficient?
A coefficient is the number in front of the variable that is multiplied by the variable
6zyx(2y2x)
12zy3x2
3y(y2-2y-3)
3y3-6y2-9y

What is a polynomial?
A polynomial is an algebraic expression made up of multiple monomials combined using an operation such as addition or subtraction
3m2n(2m3n + ny)
6m5n2 + 3m2n2y
(m2-3m+2)(3m2-m+9)
