OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to combine like terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know what that means ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@young_niyah_B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. Combine 4x & 9x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But I just don't get how to do it!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your like terms are 4x and -9x and then .. -8y and -7y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you with me here ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you do 4x-9x which is 4-9 and get -5x and then .. -8y-7y which is -8-(-7) which is -8+7 and you get -1y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh ok. So that's the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this multiple choice ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And what is the value is there anything after the equal sign ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My paper says simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so yes -5x-1y would be the simplified form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you get it now ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not at all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Idk. What we just did

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you explain it again plzz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have a test tomorrow. Plzzz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's not hard .. you are simply combining the like terms hun

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In this problem 4 is positive 8 is negative 9 is negative and 7 is negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Idk what to do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Forget it. Why do I have to be dumb
