OpenStudy (jlastino):

8a+5-2+a 9a-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can I ask where we get 9 and 3 from

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

8a+a = ?

OpenStudy (jlastino):

We combined similar terms (those with a) + (those without a)

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

8a+5-(2-a) =8a+5-2+a 8a+1a=9a 5-2=3 =9a+3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where do you get the 1 from

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

a is 1 x a = 1a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so do I simplify farther than 9a+3

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

No you cant
