Question

how do you simplify: 12.5t-2.5-3t+4-3.5t

Answer 1

idk

Answer 2

combine like terms first!

Answer 3

ok, so the like terms are: 12.5t, 3t, and 3.5t

Answer 4

so 9t

Answer 5

yes, so you would get? 12.5t+3t+3.5t=6t! then you combine the other like terms so -2.5+4=?

Answer 6

oops, I meant 19t

Answer 7

I mean 12.5t-3t-3.5t=6t how'd you get 19t?

Answer 8

I added the like terms together

Answer 9

there's a - in front of 3.5t and 3t so you subtract those from 12.5t got it?

Answer 10

yah ok, so its 6t

Answer 11

so then you would simplifies the others so -2.5+4=?

Answer 12

6.5

Answer 13

nope remember 2.5 is negative so it basically the same as 4-2.5=?

Answer 14

oops forgot to put in the negative, its really 1.5

Answer 15

yes!!! so your new equation would be 6t+1.5!

Answer 16

so, 7.5t

Answer 17

No that is your simplified answer lol 6t+1.5 because there are no more like terms!! hope this helps:)

Answer 18

ok, so 6t+1.5 is the answer

Answer 19

Your like terms always come first no matter what then you have to get to letters by themselves and after you combine like terms you add them to the rest of the equation
