@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.

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
