@uri plz help me... :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@GoldPhenoix ok thanks

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Here's a tip, you can combine like term when the variable are the same. Such as a + a. Or b + b. We can't do a + b, Or b + a, because they're not the same variable.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but i find hard to do the simplification for this.. :( but thanks anyway..

OpenStudy (uri):

2.5a + c - 1.2a + 2.5b - 3c + b + 1.7a Combine all a terms togethere, b terms together and c terms together So, 2.5a-1.2a+1.7a+2.5b+b-3c+c 3a+3.5b-2c
