G.E.D. might be fine if you already learned basic algebra. Otherwise better to do a normal course on Basic Mathematics and either a course on Pre-Algebra or Algebra 1.

This is an expression combining the terms with either addition or subtraction. Combine like terms.

Explanations and steps can be made more detailed, but the work shown should be sufficient.
