4-d+-(d-4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2d+8, but you can also simplify it to -d+4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4-d+(-d-4) 4-d-d-4 4-2d-4 -2d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you forgot a sign jelly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh lol jk ur right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whoa nellly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large -2d+8\neq -d+4\] the left side is twice the right side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you cannot really see it, but it is 4 - d + -(d-4), it should be 4-d-d+4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are no equal sides satellite

OpenStudy (anonymous):

signs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummmm nvm then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm pretty sure it's supposed to be 4-2d+4, which is -2d+8, simplified would be -d+4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"-2d+8, but you can also simplify it to -d+4" Please show us how you managed to have -2d+8 simplified to -d+4 @caesarjua

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like @satellite73 said, -2d+8 is NOT same as -d+4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

agreed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And... where do that 2 disappeared to?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just told you, those numbers are factors of 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can't just remove certain thing completely from expression

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes you can if you can simplify it, take an algebra class and you will see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(-2d+8 = 2(-d+4)\) You are the one who need t take algebra. Especially to learn what simplification means and how it works...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, they are factors of 2, but you can't just magically remove it...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look, this terms are factors of 2, you CAN simplify it, ok, take an algebra class

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?t=crmtb01&f=ob&i=simplify%20-2d%2B8 Good luck explain that...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what you are doing is dividing the expression by 2. this is not simplification...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you don't necessarily have to put the 2 outside of the parentheses, you can leave like that called STANDARD FORM, now go to take an algebra class

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe u should search online?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, I'm go ahead and just stop here and assume you are trolling.
