Question

Simplify:

6a – 5b – 7b + 9a – 8a + 2

anonymous · Answer

once again combine like terms.  you have 
$$6a+9a-8a=7a$$
$$-5b-7b=-12b$$ and so get 
$$7a-12b-2$$

anonymous · Answer

you should really do this in your head. it amounts to adding and subtracting

anonymous · Answer

as in 
$$5+9-8=7$$
$$-5-7=-12$$
