Simplify by combining like terms. eight b plus two c plus three minus four b plus five c four b plus seven c plus three twelve b plus seven c plus three four b minus three c plus three twelve b minus three c plus three

OpenStudy (tester97):

so it looks like this? 8b+2c+3-4b+5c 4b+7c+3 12b+7c+3 4b-3c+3 12b-3c+3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yass.

OpenStudy (tester97):

do you know what it means to combine like terms?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not really.

OpenStudy (tester97):

ok so for example if we had 9d+8+5d-24 and we wanted to simplify we would have to combine like terms and to do that you would have to find the two terms that are similar and simplify them. So since we have 9d and 5d we add them together and we have 14d. Now we look at the numbers 8 and -24 so together that looks like 8-24 and when you solve that you have -16 so now we have combined like terms and it looks like this 14d-16. Does this make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yes .

OpenStudy (tester97):

So now can you do your work?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should be able to.

OpenStudy (tester97):

Ok :)
