Collect like terms

26x + 8 - 16x -6

Answer 13

Collect like terms
7p - p

Answer 14

Do you know what it means to collect like terms?

Answer 15

Yes you combine them i am just really bad at this

Answer 16

Collect like terms
2x +11x

Answer 17

Okay. Well, the first...let's rearrange it so it's easier to see.

26x - 16x + 8 - 6

Now, since 26 and 16 are both multiplied by x, you can add them together. And I assume you know how to add 8 and -6!

Answer 18

you just have to remember to carry the signs with the coefficients. Coefficient just means the number multiplied by the variable - from the first question, 26 and -16 are the coefficients of x.

Answer 19

alright i got that

Answer 20

so what did you get for 26x + 8 - 16x - 6?

Answer 21

wait so i add 26x + (-16x)

Answer 22

Yes.

Answer 23

that is 0

Answer 24

It is?

Answer 25

oh unless the negative becomes a positive

Answer 26

Is it? drop the x, for now -> 26 + (-16)=?

Answer 27

it is 10

Answer 28

Yes. so you are left with 10x + 8 - 6 = ?

Answer 29

2

Answer 30

8-6 = 2, yes, but you need to keep the 10x. So the final answer will be
10x - 2

Answer 31

SORRY! 10x + 2

Answer 32

ohhhhh because you need to first collect the like terms! for instance this is like proportions

Answer 33

So, try your next one.

Answer 34

7p - p... Keep in mind this is the same as 7p - 1p

Answer 35

i know any letter "number" in algebra by its self is always 1

Answer 36

Okay...so what is the simplification of this problem?

Answer 37

the answer will be 6p?

Answer 38

Yes!
