Question

Simplify each expression by combining like terms.

1) 7m-4+11m

2) -6x+8y+10x

Answer 1

Let's simplify each expression by combining like terms.

1) For the expression \( 7m - 4 + 11m \):
- Combine the \( m \) terms: \( 7m + 11m = 18m \).
- The expression becomes:
\[
18m - 4
\]

2) For the expression \( -6x + 8y + 10x \):
- Combine the \( x \) terms: \( -6x + 10x = 4x \).
- The expression now is:
\[
4x + 8y
\]

So, the simplified expressions are:

1) \( 18m - 4 \)

2) \( 4x + 8y \)
