Question

Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression:
\large{-5+(-5r)+10} what is the aswer

Answer 1

To combine the like terms, we add the coefficients of the terms that have the same variable.

Combining the like terms in the expression (-5) + (-5r) + 10, we have:

-5 + (-5r) + 10

= (-5 - 5r) + 10

= -5r - 5 + 10

= -5r + 5

So, the equivalent expression is -5r + 5.
