Simplify the expression.

-2+-7d-7-1

1 answer

To simplify the expression \(-2 + (-7d) - 7 - 1\), we can combine the constant terms:

  1. Combine the constant terms: \(-2 - 7 - 1\)

    • \(-2 - 7 = -9\)
    • \(-9 - 1 = -10\)
  2. The term with \(d\) remains as is, which is \(-7d\).

Therefore, the simplified expression is:

\[ -7d - 10 \]
