Answer 3

nah

Answer 4

this is one of the easiest simplification questions i've ever seen, and you just refuse to to do it? if you would like i can inform you on how to simplify with variables, but i'm not giving you the answer.

Answer 5

You can only subtract the terms with the same symbol after the number, in this case, S and R. So you have 8s, and 1s. Subtract one from the other. Then do the same with the remaining terms in the equation.

Answer 6

I agree with @gaara438125 , you need to be able to do this on your own.

Answer 7

i know but its confusing me with the terms

Answer 8

you can only multiply, subtract, add, etc the numbers with the same letter after it. If it has a different letter, it cant work with it. So 2s+2r would have to be just that. They can't work together because they are different. 2s+2s, however, would equal 4s. Keep in mind that the "s" and "r" represent unknown variables.

Answer 9

S(8 -1) -R(5 + 6)
does that look better?
