Question

Simplify the following:
a) −3v − 9x + 6v − 8x = __________
b) 8y + 8 − 6y − 1 = __________
c) −6s − 6g + 3 − 3s + 2g − 6 = __________

Answer 1

a)
1 Gather like terms
(−3v+6v)+(−9x−8x)

2 Simplify
3v−17x

Answer 2

b)
1 Gather like terms
(8y−6y)+8−1

2 Simplify
2y+8−1

3 Simplify
2y+7

Answer 3

c)
1 Gather like terms
(−6s−3s)+(−6g+2g)+3−6

2 Simplify
−9s−4g+3−6

3 Simplify
−9s−4g−3

Answer 4

do you see how i did them all?
