-12w+3u-24u-16w = -28w+27u did i do this right someone please tell me?

You have to combine like terms. Meaning you have to combine numbers that are alike. You cannot add a number with different variables. They have the be the same variables. So you have to rearrange it and add the like terms. If you still need more help I can show you.

how about this -28w-21u?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Perfect! Except for the (-) should be a (+) :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well not the negative, I meant the sign. It should be addition instead of subtraction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do u mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry I know I confused you. I meant that instead of -28w - 21u. It should be -28w + 21u
