Hey all, one thing that i *suck* at is simplifying complicated boolean expressions. I'm nearly always certain that there's a much clearer and more condensed way to write things, but my brain locks ...

Two of the terms involve \(x\) and two involve \(y\). Now we can combine the \(x\) terms and combine the \(y\) terms to get \(3x + 2y\).

Collecting like terms means to simplify terms in expressions in which the variables are the same. In the expression \(5a + 2b + 3a - 6b\), the terms \(5a\) and \(+ 3a\) are like terms, as are \(2b\) ...

Tests of characteristics associated with PUIDs are made in a form or mathematical logic known as a Boolean expression (after George Boole who invented it). A Boolean expression combines ...
