How do you write an equivalent expression in simplest form?

- Combine the constants.
What is the simplest form of an algebraic expression?
These three terms are called like terms because they all contain the same variable, p. When we collect or combine the like terms in this way, we are giving an expression in its simplest form, which is called simplifying an expression. like terms Like terms contain the same variable or variables.
What is a polynomial in simplest form?
To simplify a polynomial, we have to do two things: 1) combine like terms, and 2) rearrange the terms so that they’re written in descending order of exponent. For example, you can add 1 “x-squared” to 2 “x-squareds” and get 3 “x-squareds”, but 1 “x-squared” plus an “x” can’t be combined because they’re not like terms.
