Answer:
"simplify"
Step-by-step explanation:
The notion of <em>simplifying</em> an expression depends on the expression. For the one offered as an example, the simplification steps required are eliminating parentheses and combining like terms.
Other possible simplification steps include combining fractions, reducing fractions, and rationalizing denominators (eliminating surds or complex numbers).
It appears the vocabulary word that is desired in the blank is <u>simplify</u>.
Here, we can either factor:
1. The numbers
2. The variables
3. Both 1 and 2
In this instance, we factor 1 because the variables are different but the three numbers have a Greatest Common Factor.
4a+12b-20
4(a+3b-5)
It would be 12% of 50
50 * 12/100 = 600/100 = 6
so, 6 cars are red
√a can be written as (a)^(1/2)
∛a can be written as (a)^(1/3) and so on,
so √15=(15)^(1/2)
