Question

Ranger says the expression is not in its simplest form. He thinks the two terms need to be combined. Is Ranger right that 8x − 20 can be simplified further? Provide support for your response.

Answer 1

Answer : 
 Ranger is incorrect. The expression, 8x – 20, is in its simplest form because there are no parentheses and no like terms. The two terms cannot be combined because only one term has x as its variable.
