Step-by-step solution for: Assist your child with algebra and review the order of operations ...
Problem: Solve the algebraic expressions and combine like terms as per the instructions in the image.
#### Part I: Complete the expressions using the order of operations.
The order of operations is often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS:
1. Parentheses
2. Exponents
3. Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
4. Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
Let's solve each expression step by step.
---
#### Expression 1:
$$
6 + 18 \div 9 - 2 \times 2
$$
1. Perform division and multiplication first:
$$
18 \div 9 = 2 \quad \text{and} \quad 2 \times 2 = 4
$$
2. Substitute these values back into the expression:
$$
6 + 2 - 4
$$
3. Perform addition and subtraction from left to right:
$$
6 + 2 = 8 \quad \text{and} \quad 8 - 4 = 4
$$
Answer: $\boxed{4}$
---
#### Expression 2:
$$
10 \div 5 - 7 \times 1 - 5
$$
1. Perform division and multiplication first:
$$
10 \div 5 = 2 \quad \text{and} \quad 7 \times 1 = 7
$$
2. Substitute these values back into the expression:
$$
2 - 7 - 5
$$

$$
2 - 7 = -5 \quad \text{and} \quad -5 - 5 = -10
$$
Answer: $\boxed{-10}$
---
#### Expression 3:
$$
8 \times 3 - 4 + 12 \div 2
$$
1. Perform multiplication and division first:
$$
8 \times 3 = 24 \quad \text{and} \quad 12 \div 2 = 6
$$
2. Substitute these values back into the expression:
$$
24 - 4 + 6
$$
3. Perform addition and subtraction from left to right:
$$
24 - 4 = 20 \quad \text{and} \quad 20 + 6 = 26
$$
Answer: $\boxed{26}$
---
#### Expression 4:
$$
20 - 3 \times 3 + 10 \div 2
$$
1. Perform multiplication and division first:
$$
3 \times 3 = 9 \quad \text{and} \quad 10 \div 2 = 5
$$
2. Substitute these values back into the expression:
$$
20 - 9 + 5
$$
3. Perform addition and subtraction from left to right:
$$
20 - 9 = 11 \quad \text{and} \quad 11 + 5 = 16
$$
Answer: $\boxed{16}$
---
#### Expression 5:
$$
21 + 3 \cdot 7 - 4 \times 1
$$
1. Perform multiplication first:
$$
3 \cdot 7 = 21 \quad \text{and} \quad 4 \times 1 = 4
$$
2. Substitute these values back into the expression:
$$
21 + 21 - 4
$$
3. Perform addition and subtraction from left to right:
$$
21 + 21 = 42 \quad \text{and} \quad 42 - 4 = 38
$$
Answer: $\boxed{38}$
---
#### Expression 6:
$$
4 \times 6 - 20 + 24 \div 3
$$
1. Perform multiplication and division first:
$$
4 \times 6 = 24 \quad \text{and} \quad 24 \div 3 = 8
$$
2. Substitute these values back into the expression:
$$
24 - 20 + 8
$$
3. Perform addition and subtraction from left to right:
$$
24 - 20 = 4 \quad \text{and} \quad 4 + 8 = 12
$$
Answer: $\boxed{12}$
---
#### Expression 7:
$$
11 - 2 \times 5 + 14 \div 7
$$
1. Perform multiplication and division first:
$$
2 \times 5 = 10 \quad \text{and} \quad 14 \div 7 = 2
$$
2. Substitute these values back into the expression:
$$
11 - 10 + 2
$$
3. Perform addition and subtraction from left to right:
$$
11 - 10 = 1 \quad \text{and} \quad 1 + 2 = 3
$$
Answer: $\boxed{3}$
---
#### Expression 8:
$$
9 + 6 \times 5 - 16 \div 1
$$
1. Perform multiplication and division first:
$$
6 \times 5 = 30 \quad \text{and} \quad 16 \div 1 = 16
$$
2. Substitute these values back into the expression:
$$
9 + 30 - 16
$$
3. Perform addition and subtraction from left to right:
$$
9 + 30 = 39 \quad \text{and} \quad 39 - 16 = 23
$$
Answer: $\boxed{23}$

Part II: Combine like terms.
Combine like terms means grouping together terms that have the same variable(s) and exponent(s).
---
#### Expression 9:
$$
3x + 4x
$$
1. Both terms have the same variable $x$, so add their coefficients:
$$
3x + 4x = 7x
$$
Answer: $\boxed{7x}$
---
#### Expression 10:
$$
10x - 3x
