Respuesta :

Combing like terms you have 0.25k - k = -0.75k

and 1.5 - 3.5 = -2.0

The answer would be -0.75k - 2.0

0.25k + 1.5 - k - 3.5

You must combine like terms. Like terms are the numbers with the same variable (letter) attached (in this case the numbers with the letter k are like terms)

(0.25k + (-k) )+ 1.5 - 3.5 <<<Remember that a variable with no number in front of it still has and invisible 1

(0.25k + (-1k) ) + 1.5 - 3.5

-0.75k + 1.5 - 3.5  

Numbers without any variable are also like terms

-0.75k + 1.5 - 3.5

-0.75k -2

Hope this helped!
