Simplifying the expression "n+4-9-5n" gives:
n + 4 - 9 - 5n
Combining similar terms, we have:
(1n - 5n) + (4 - 9)
(-4n) + (-5)
-4n - 5
Therefore, the simplified expression is -4n - 5.
n + 4 - 9 - 5n
Combining similar terms, we have:
(1n - 5n) + (4 - 9)
(-4n) + (-5)
-4n - 5
Therefore, the simplified expression is -4n - 5.
Let's break it down step by step:
1. Combine the n and -5n terms:
n - 5n = -4n
2. Combine the constants 4 and -9:
4 - 9 = -5
3. Put it all together:
-4n - 5
So the simplified expression is -4n - 5.
Now, let's do a quick verification with an example. Let's say n = 3:
Using the original expression: n + 4 - 9 - 5n
Substituting n = 3: 3 + 4 - 9 - 5(3)
Simplifying: 3 + 4 - 9 - 15 = -17
Using the simplified expression: -4n - 5
Substituting n = 3: -4(3) - 5
Simplifying: -12 - 5 = -17
Both the original and simplified expressions yield the same result when n = 3, which confirms that the simplified expression is correct.
First, let's group the terms with n together:
n - 5n
Next, we can simplify the expression by subtracting the coefficients:
1n - 5n = -4n
Now, let's combine the constant terms:
4 - 9 = -5
Finally, we can rewrite the simplified expression:
-4n - 5
