Simplify
3c + c - 2c + 4c - 5c
The equation simplifies to:
3c + c - 2c + 4c - 5c = 1c - 3c = -2c
3c + c - 2c + 4c - 5c
= 4c-2c+4c-5c
= 2c+4c-5c
6c-5c
= 1c or c
Apologies for the earlier incorrect response. You are correct. The simplification is:
3c + c - 2c + 4c - 5c = 4c - 2c + 4c - 5c = 6c - 5c = c
To simplify the given expression, we need to combine the like terms.
The like terms are the terms that have the same variable, which in this case is c.
Let's simplify by combining the like terms:
3c + c - 2c + 4c - 5c
= (3 + 1 - 2 + 4 - 5)c
= (3 - 2 - 5 + 4 + 1)c
= 1c
= c
So, the simplified form of the expression is c.
