Step 3: What is the process of combining like terms on both sides?
The process of combining like terms on both sides of an equation is an essential step in algebraic equations. Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same power. To combine these like terms, we add or subtract their coefficients. The goal is to simplify the equation by grouping similar terms together. This simplification allows us to determine the value of the variable or solve for the unknown in the equation. By combining like terms on both sides, we can transform a complex equation into a simpler form, making it easier to manipulate and solve.
