Question

Add: ( 2m - 3 ) + ( 3n - 1 ) + ( 3m + 1 )

Answer 1

To add the expression \((2m - 3) + (3n - 1) + (3m + 1)\), we can group like terms together.

1. **Combine the \(m\) terms**:
- From \(2m\) and \(3m\): \(2m + 3m = 5m\)

2. **Combine the \(n\) terms**:
- The only \(n\) term is \(3n\): \(3n\)

3. **Combine the constant terms**:
- From \(-3\), \(-1\), and \(1\):
\(-3 - 1 + 1 = -3\)

Now, putting it all together, we have:

\[
5m + 3n - 3
\]

Therefore, the sum of the expression \((2m - 3) + (3n - 1) + (3m + 1)\) is:

\[
5m + 3n - 3
\]
