(i) 5a, -3a, -7a and 8a

(ii) 4x3, -9x3, 4x3 and -3x3

(iii) 4abc, -7abc, -9abc and 5abc

(iv) 4x2yz, -3x2yz, 7x2yz and -9x2yz

(v) -7a2b, ba2, -8ba2, 11a2b and -9a2b

(vi) 9xy, -2xy, 6xy, -4ay and xy

(vii) 12mn, -16mn, mn, - 7mn and 3mn

(viii) -6abz, 10abz, -3abz and 9abz


2. Subtract the following terms:

(i) 10a from 15a

(ii) 2x from -12x

(iii) 5x2 from 9x2

(iii) 18z2 from 10z2

(iv) -14x2y2 from 2x2y2

(v) 16ab from 11ab

(vi) 17x5y7 from 15x5y7

(vii) m^4n2 from 6n2m4

(viii) -9abxy from 2abxy


3. Find the sum of:

(i) 3a, 11a, a and 32a

(ii) -3x, -7x, -5x and 11x

(iii) 7ab, 2ab, -3ab, -5ab and ab

(iv) 5s, 2s, -3s, -s, -5s and s

(v) 5m, -3m, -7m, -21m and 15m


4. Simplify by combining like terms:

(i) 5z2 – 11z + 4z2 + 2z

(ii) 4x3 - 8x2 + 12x2 - 15x3

(iii) -13a2b + 9ab2 - 5a2b + ab2

(iv) m3 + m2 + m – 3m + 5m2 - 9m3

(v) -8p3q2 + 10p2q3 – 8p3q2 – 8p2q3 + 5p3q2

(vi) 4a - 3b + 6c + 8a + 8b - 4c

(vii) p - 4q - 7r + 4r + 9p – 7q -3r + p - 5q

(viii) pq + 2qr – 3rp + 5pq + 6rp – 2qr + 8pq – 5qr + 3rp - 3rp
