Question

Simplify:

-15h – 6j + 8h – j

Answer 1

group the H terms and the J terms together then do the addition subtraction

Answer 2

-15h+8h -6j-j

Answer 3

(-15h+8h) + (-6j-j) whats the answer?

Answer 4

in combining like terms, look at the signs, if their signs are different, you subtract, then copy the sign of the larger coefficient of the literal factor.

Answer 5

example: -5x+3x = -2x.

Answer 6

if the signs are the same, you may add and copy the common sign, example: -4x-2x=-6x.

Answer 7

Another way to look at his is to group the two terms together like zzr0ck3r,

\[-15h+8h-6j-j\]

then factor the first two and second two terms

take j and h out

\[(-15+8)h+(-6-1)j\]

then just do the simple algebra

Answer 8

that's also right, then apply the rules of addition of integers, then affix the corresponding literal factor.

Answer 9

7h+5j
is your answer
