Answer:

Explanation:

An example of an expression with 4 terms where 3 of them are like terms is:

$5x^2 + 7x - 2x^2 + 3x$

To rewrite this expression by combining like terms, we add the coefficients of the terms with the same variables raised to the same power. In this case, the two terms with $x^2$ are like terms, so we can add their coefficients:

$5x^2 - 2x^2 + 7x + 3x = 3x^2 + 10x$

The resulting expression has 2 terms.
