Question

Would someone be able to help me answer the following questions please?

A) 3c-9d+7c+5d
B) 4a+7b+5a-b
C) 6c+4d-c-7d

Answer 1

A. $3c-9d+7c+5d \ \textgreater \ Group\;like\;terms \ \textgreater \ 3c+7c-9d+5d$

$\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:3c+7c=10c \ \textgreater \ 10c-9d+5d$

$\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:-9d+5d=-4d \ \textgreater \ 10c-4d$

B. $4a+7b+5a-b \ \textgreater \ Group\;like\;terms \ \textgreater \ 4a+5a+7b-b$

$\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:4a+5a=9a \ \textgreater \ 9a+7b-b$

$\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:7b-b=6b \ \textgreater \ 9a+6b$

C. $6c+4d-c-7d \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Group\:like\:terms} \ \textgreater \ 6c-c+4d-7d$

$\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:6c-c=5c\ \textgreater \ 5c+4d-7d$

$\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:4d-7d=-3d \ \textgreater \ 5c-3d$

Hope this helps!
