Question

What is the answer to 4 - 8n + 7n - 3n - 9

Answer 1

The answer is -5-4n
You get rid of the 4 and the -9
And then you combine all the terms with the n

Answer 2

Answer:

-1(5 + 4n)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

4 + -8n + 7n + -3n + -9

Reorder the terms:

4 + -9 + -8n + 7n + -3n

Combine like terms: 4 + -9 = -5

-5 + -8n + 7n + -3n

Combine like terms: -8n + 7n = -1n

-5 + -1n + -3n

Combine like terms: -1n + -3n = -4n

-5 + -4n

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '-1'.

-1(5 + 4n)

Final result:

-1(5 + 4n)
