When simplifying an expression using the properties of operations, you can combine like terms. In this case, the like terms are 4x and 8x.
To combine these terms, you add their coefficients:
4x + 8x = 12x
So, 4x + 8x simplifies to 12x.
To combine these terms, you add their coefficients:
4x + 8x = 12x
So, 4x + 8x simplifies to 12x.
Combining the g terms, we have 9g - 6g = 3g.
Combining the h terms, we have -7h + 2h = -5h.
Therefore, the simplified expression is 3g - 5h.
Simplify 3/7x + 2/7x using properties of operations. (1 point)
Combining the a terms, we get 2a + 8a = 10a.
Combining the b terms, we get -4b + 6b = 2b.
Combining the constant terms, we get 7 - 2 = 5.
The simplified expression is then 10a + 2b + 5.
To simplify 3/7x + 2/7x, we combine the like terms:
The like terms in this expression are 3/7x and 2/7x.
Adding their coefficients together, we get 3/7x + 2/7x = (3 + 2)/7x = 5/7x.
Therefore, the simplified expression is 5/7x.
Combining the c terms, we have 6/7c - 1/2c. To do this, we need a common denominator, which is 14. So we rewrite the fractions as: (12/14)c - (7/14)c = 5/14c.
Combining the d terms, we have -5/9d + 1/3d. To do this, we need a common denominator, which is 9. So we rewrite the fractions as: (-15/45)d + (15/45)d = 0d. The d terms cancel each other out.
Combining the fractions, we have 5/14c + 0d.
Therefore, the simplified expression is 5/14c.
Step 1: Add the coefficients of the like terms.
The coefficient of the first term, 4x, is 4.
The coefficient of the second term, 8x, is 8.
Step 2: Combine the coefficients.
4 + 8 = 12
Step 3: Write the result with the common variable, x.
The simplified expression is 12x.
