Question

Simplify : -26b^2 + (-27b^2)

Answer 1

-53b² is the correct answer.  First you had to remove parenthesis first, and it gave us, $-26b^2-27b^2$. And then add similar elements, and it gave us the answer is $-26b^2-27b^2=-53b^2$, or -53b² is the right answer. Hope this helps! And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly, and have a great day. -Charlie
