👉 Learn how to simplify expressions using the power rule of exponents. When several terms of an expression is raised to an exponent outside the parenthesis, the exponent is distributed over the ...

Two of the terms involve \(x\) and two involve \(y\). Now we can combine the \(x\) terms and combine the \(y\) terms to get \(3x + 2y\).

Two linear expressions can be expanded, and then simplified by collecting like terms, if there are any. Linear expressions have no terms with power of 2 or higher. For example, 15x – 4y is a linear ...
