Mehek:
Do you know how to combine like terms?
Falconmaster:
what in the what ??
Mehek:
Like terms
Such as 2y + 3y = 5y
they are like terms because both have y
So in your problem, you have 17x + 3x
Any idea what that would equal?
Falconmaster:
20?
Mehek:
Correct so 20x - 6 - 5
-6 - 5 = ?

Falconmaster:
as you can see i am not smart :D
Mehek:
-6 - 5 = 11
So one side is simplified to 20x - 11
and then on the other side you have x + 11 + 4x
The like terms are x + 4x which = 5x
so 20x - 11 = 11 + 5x
Mehek:
It's ok this isn't a hard concept; you'll catch on quick
