You asking me or her :P

Answer 4

her:)

Answer 5

lol no clue

Answer 6

Gaby, -10D+2+4D. To simplify you pair up like terms. -10d and +4d are like terms because they booth have the same variable. 2 does not have a pair because there are no other numbers that are alone. So you pair up like terms first and -10d+4d is?

Answer 7

ok -10d+4d means d(-10+4)

what will you get if you add 4 in -10

Answer 8

-6d????

Answer 9

@Gabylovesyou
yes you are right

Answer 10

Yes. so now you can't pair up any other like terms so you've simplified it all the way down. You're now left with -6d+2
