Brittany how did you get 8?

That is wrong. If the original equation said " = 0", then you can do that. Even then, it would be 8mn = -13m.

Answer 11

@djjewla - In your original expression, there are two like terms. One with mn and one with m. So, you gather them up and add or subtract just like you would any arithmetic expression.

13mn+4m-5mn+9m
=> 13mn - 5mn + 4m + 9m
=> 8mn + 13m
