1) 7m-4+11m

2) -6x+8y+10x

1 answer

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. \( 4x + 8y \)
