Combine like terms for:
x + 6 + 7 + 8 + y + 9 + 10 + 12 + 3x + 20
Evaluate the x terms:
x + 3x
(1 + 3)x
4x
Evaluate the y terms:
y ← There is only one y term
Evaluate the constants:
6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 12 + 20
72
Combine like terms
4x + y + 72
Analyze the 3 terms of the polynomial 4x + y + 72
Analyze Term 1
Term 1 is 4x
Our coefficient/constant is 4
Our variable piece is x
No exponent exists for this term
Analyze Term 2
Term 2 is y
Since there is no coefficient
our coefficient is 1
Our variable piece is y
No exponent exists for this term
Analyze Term 3
Term 3 is 72
Our coefficient/constant is 72
This term has no variable, so it is a constant
No exponent exists for this term
