Question

Combined the life terms in the following expression 8A plus B minus 3A is the answer 5A plus 3B5A plus B5A minus B8A minus 3B

Answer 1

To combine like terms in the expression, we add or subtract coefficients that have the same variable.

Given expression: 8A + B - 3A

Let's first combine the terms with the variable A:
8A - 3A = (8 - 3)A = 5A

Now, let's combine the terms with the variable B:
5A + B = 5A + 1B (Note: 'B' can be written as '1B' for clarity)

So, the final simplified expression is:
5A + B
