In many ways. It really depends on the algebraic expression. If several terms are added/subtracted, you can usually combine similar terms (terms that have the same combination of variables). If variables are multiplied, you can combine the same variable, adding the corresponding exponents. Sometimes expressions get simpler if you factor them; sometimes you have to multiply out (in other words, the opposite of factoring). Quite frequently, you have to use a combination of methods to simplify expressions. Take an algebra book, and look at some of the examples.

What is simplifying the expression?
Algebraic expressions contain alphabetic symbols as well as numbers. When an algebraic expression is simplified, an equivalent expression is found that is simpler than the original. This usually means that the simplified expression is smaller than the original. There is no standard procedure for simplifying all algebraic expressions because there are so many different kinds of expressions, but they can be grouped into three types: (a) those that can be simplified immediately without any preparation. (b) those that require preparation before being simplified. (c) those that cannot be simplified at all. <3 Tiffany ur welcome
How do you classify algebraic expressions?
Algebraic expressions are terms that do not include an equality sign
How do you know if you will subtract or add in simplifying algebraic expressions?
Only like terms can be subtracted or added in algebraic expressions.
Do algebraic expressions have to have a variable?
Yes. That is the definition of an algebraic expression.
What are Algebraic Expresstion?
Algebraic expressions are terms that do not include an equality sign
How an algebric expression with quadratic denominator is solved?
Algebraic expressions can't be solved because they are not equations but they can be simplified.

What is a process for evaluating expressions called?
Algebraic expressions can be simplified by combining together like terms but there are no solution because they don't contain equality signs
Do algebraic expressions have equals signs?
no algebraic expressions do not have equal signs but equations do.
How do you classify algebraic expressions?
Algebraic expressions are terms that do not include an equality sign
How are algebraic expressions and equations alike?
Algebraic expressions are the written relations of or between variables. For example, x2, 1/x, and x + y + z are all algebraic expressions. Algebraic equations are simply algebraic expressions that equate to something. For example, x2 = 4, 1/x = y, and x + y + z = 42 are all algebraic equations. In general, one differentiates algebraic expressions from exponential, trigonometric, hyperbolic, and logarithmic expressions by requiring algebraic expressions to be confined to polynomial expressions. I've added a link regarding polynomials below.
How do you know if you will subtract or add in simplifying algebraic expressions?
Only like terms can be subtracted or added in algebraic expressions.
What is the word origin for algebraic expressions?
the word algebraic is arabic.
Do algebraic expressions have to have a variable?
Yes. That is the definition of an algebraic expression.
How do you solve 1.50p plus 2.50p plus 3p This is a simplifying algebraic expressions and add subtract integer problem?
It is: 1.50p+2.50p+3p = 7p when simplified
What are Algebraic Expresstion?
Algebraic expressions are terms that do not include an equality sign
What does simplify 2 to the third power plus 3 to the second power mean?
It means find the value of the expression. It cannot be simplified in the way that algebraic expressions usually are.
