Question

Simplify by adding like terms 3w-3x+2w-6-8

Answer 1

Hoi!

Let's add the numbers with variables first.

3w + 2w = 5w

Plug that in

5w - 3x - 6 - 8

Now let's add the terms without variables. 6 is a negative because there's a subtraction symbol in front of it.

-6 - 8 = -14

Now plug that in to get your final answer.

Your simplification is 5w - 14 - 3x.

Answer 2

3w - 3x + 2w - 6 - 8

Combine like terms:
= 5w - 3x - 14
