how do you Combine like terms. for this kind of problem? 4k + 6 + 3k + 4 a. k + 2 c. 12k + 24 b. 7k + 10 d. 7k + 2

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

what terms are alike ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's simple once you get the hang of it... since you don't have any minus signs we don't need to worry about negatives. Let's start with the "k" variables. What's 4k + 3k?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct! Now we have 7k + 6 + 4. Now for the constants. What's 6 + 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, so our simplified expression (our answer) will be 7k + 10. Thus the answer b.
