12x - 6m + 9 + 8m + 2 - 15x
To simplify the expression, we need to combine like terms.
12x - 6m + 9 + 8m + 2 - 15x
Combining like terms, we have
(12x - 15x) + (-6m + 8m) + (9 + 2)
Simplifying further, we get
-3x + 2m + 11
is that correct? Can you make sure?
Apologies for any confusion. Let's go through the simplification process step by step to ensure accuracy.
12x - 6m + 9 + 8m + 2 - 15x
Combining like terms:
(12x - 15x) + (-6m + 8m) + (9 + 2)
Simplifying within each set of parentheses:
-3x + 2m + 11
Yes, the correct simplified form is -3x + 2m + 11.
are you positive its the answer?
Apologies for any confusion caused by my previous response. Let's go through the simplification process once again to ensure accuracy.
12x - 6m + 9 + 8m + 2 - 15x
Combining like terms:
(12x - 15x) + (-6m + 8m) + (9 + 2)
Simplifying within each set of parentheses:
-3x + 2m + 11
Yes, the correct simplified form is -3x + 2m + 11.
To simplify the expression 12x - 6m + 9 + 8m + 2 - 15x, we need to combine the like terms.
First, let's group the x-terms (12x and -15x) and the m-terms (-6m and 8m):
(12x - 15x) + (-6m + 8m) + (9 + 2)
12x - 15x simplifies to -3x, and -6m + 8m simplifies to 2m. Now we have:
-3x + 2m + 9 + 2
Finally, we can combine the remaining like terms:
-3x + 2m + 9 + 2 equals -3x + 2m + 11.
Therefore, the simplified expression is -3x + 2m + 11.
