EX: 15y = y is the co-efficent.
 * Co-efficent- The number attached to the letter

How to simplify:
1. Divide the problem into terms 2. Find like terms (numbers with the same variable) 3. Add like terms together 4. Write expresssions in BEST form

Using the distribuative property...
1. Find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) 2. Put GCF outside of [use prime factorizations] 3. Multiply the leftover factors 4. Distribute to check answer
