Question

Combine like terms fir the following expression: -3x+14-11+11x

Answer 1

Answer:

8x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In the expression -3x + 14 - 11 + 11x, we have two pairs of like terms that can be combined together:

-3x, 11x

14, -11

If we rewrite this expression with the like terms together, it would look like this:

-3x+11x + 14-11

To make the addition of -3x and 11x easier, we could switch their places in the expression to make it look like this:

11x-3x + 14-11

(Note: Even though we are switching the terms' places, the -3x still keeps its negative sign when you move it around.

11x-3x is 8x and 14-11 is 3.

Therefore, the expression -3x + 14 - 11 + 11x can be simplified by combining like terms into 8x + 3.
