- 7. An algebraic expression made up of one term.
- 9. To combine all that can be combined, reduce the number of terms, and put an expression in an easily understandable form.
- 10. To change two or more terms to just one term so that you can perform other processes
- 11. A small number written slightly above and to the right of a variable or number
- 12. A grouping of terms or values that use a sign to show an equal relationship that two quantities are equal
- 14. An action performed upon one or two numbers to produce a resulting number
- 16. A letter or number representing a numerical quantity attached to a term.
