Question

W+w+w+w+w+15-7 I got this wrong on a math question. I did 5w+8 = 13w ​

Answer 1

Answer:

5w +8

Step-by-step explanation:

w+w+w+w+w+15-7

there are 5 w's

5w +15-7

5w +8

You stop here because you cannot combine anymore.

Answer 2

$w+w+w+w+w+15-7=\underbrace{w+w+w+w+w}_5+(15-7)\\\\=5w+8-\text{finish}\\\\\text{You can not add 5w and 8. These are different monomials.}$

Example:

5w - five apples

8 - eight strawberries

5w + 8 = (five apples) + (eight strawberries) = 13 of what?

You can add only numbers of the same fruits.
