Examples of like terms are:
5d & 7d
3x & 2x
10 & 4
7 & -6

You combine them by simply doing what the equation tells you:
For example:
4d + 6 - 2d + 10
This would simplify to:
2d + 16

This is because I took the like terms, 4d & -2d, and 6 + 10.

4d - 2d = 2d
6 + 10 = 16

So the answer would be:
2d + 16

Answer:

like terms are terms that have the same variable

Explanation:

when combining like terms we add their coefficients for example 4x + 5x = (4+5)x=9x
