Answer:
12c + 14d - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
16d + 20c + 5d -7 - 8c - 7d + 3
Simplify the expression
__________________________
To solve, we need to first take in mind the fact that there are different like terms within this expression. Like terms are numbers or values that end in different symbols, such as variables or exponents. Since we are filled with variables such as c and d. We can do as followed :
Combine the "d" like terms :
16d + 5d - 7d
21d - 7d
14d
Combine the "c" like terms :
20c - 8c
12c
Combine the constants :
-7 + 3
-4
Now add all of the values together to get the final expression.
12c + 14d - 4
Answer:
14d + 12c + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Add the same variables; if you see d, or c variable add or subtract them like this:
16d + 5d - 7d = 14d
20c - 8c = 12c
3 is left alone b/c there’s no any other number to add/subtract for 3.
also I know whether to add or subtract b/c the addition or subtraction sign would be before the number: ex; - 2, - 3x, + 5d, + 5
2) your equation should look like this....
14d + 12c + 3
