Question

Lyde simplified ( j-8)-2. what error did clyde make, and what is the correct simplified form?

Answer 1

The right simplified expression is j - 10

Simplified expression is the simplest form of the equation. We need to group the variable before simplifying equations that have different variables, for example :

a + b + a + c + b

it can be simplified as

a + a + b + b + c = 2a + 2b + c

From the question above, we know that :

( j-8)-2

First, group the same variables

j - 8 - 2

= j + (-8 -2)

= j - 10

Hence, the right simplified form is j - 10 .
