Question

help pls

Answer 1

What is

-5d + 4d = ?

Answer 2

idk do i sub

Answer 3

Think of the 'd' as an apple

Since we have -5, think of that negative number as you're owing someone 5 something. You owe someone 5 apples and you have 4 apples so you give it to him.

How many apples do you now owe or have left?

Answer 4

1?

Answer 5

Essentially what is

-5 + 4

and then remember to add the 'd' back again

We can only add things that are like terms so -5d + 4d can be added
However, if it was 2 and 2a. You cannot add them because one has an 'a' and the other does not.

Answer 6

what next were do i add 1 in d

Answer 7

Can you tell me what

-5 + 4 = ?

Answer 8

And then you should be able to easily figure out what -5d + 4d equals to

Answer 9

Yes so -5d + 4d is going to be -1d

You can write that also as just `-d` because the 1 is implied
