Question

Simplify the following algebraic expression: -4d - 2c + 3c

Answer 1

Hey there!

For this problem, we just want to combine out like terms. A like term in this situation are terms with different (or they can be the same) coefficients to the variable, but with the same variable.

As we can see, that means two of our terms, and one will have to be left in its original form because it has no other like term. That term is the -4d.

If we combine the -2c + 3c, we get:

-4d + c

Hope this helps!
