Question

Add: ( 4d - 3 ) + ( 12d + 4 )

Answer 1

To add the expressions \( (4d - 3) \) and \( (12d + 4) \), you combine like terms:

1. Start with the expressions:
\[
(4d - 3) + (12d + 4)
\]

2. Remove the parentheses:
\[
4d - 3 + 12d + 4
\]

3. Combine the like terms. For the \(d\) terms:
\[
4d + 12d = 16d
\]

4. For the constant terms:
\[
-3 + 4 = 1
\]

5. Now, put it all together:
\[
16d + 1
\]

So, the result of adding the two expressions is:
\[
\boxed{16d + 1}
\]
