Question

collect like terms
14x+7y-11x-9y =--

Answer 1

its actually quite simple, you just need to look at it like this (14x-11x)+(7y-9y) = ---. you can rearrange it like that and you can group (use parenthesis) like i did when dealing with simple algebra. So I assume you know how to subtract 11 from 14 and 9 from 7? and then those differences will be the coefficients. respectively.

Answer 2

urbanderivative
would the answer be 6

Answer 3

how did you come up with that answer. It's incorrect, but I need to know how to fix you.

Answer 4

i meant 5

Answer 5

close, but you have to know that x and y are different variables and you cannot subtract them.

Answer 6

is it 19

Answer 7

you are leaving out your variables. You answer must include both x and y.

Answer 8

i don't understand pls show me

Answer 9

(14x-11x)+(7y-9y) = ---
where 14x-11x is 3x. That's simple subtraction right?
so now we have (14x-11x)+(7y-9y) = 3x + (?)

Answer 10

\[(14x-11x) = x(14-11)= x(3) = 3x\]

Answer 11

so my answer is 3xcorrect
