Reduce the number of terms in the expression by operating on like terms
for example
Simplify
x^2 - 3x + 4 + x^2 + 6x - 6

the like terms are the x^2 and x^2 , -3x and 6x and 4 and -6

so we have
x^2 + x^2 - 3x + 6x + 4 - 6
= 2x^2 + 3x - 2

This is the simplified form of the original expression

Answer:

$J. \:\:71\degree$

Step-by-step explanation:

CNWK is a $||^{gm}$

$\therefore m\angle C + m\angle K = 180\degree$

(Adjacent angles of a parallelogram)

$\therefore (4a+7)\degree + (7a-3)\degree = 180\degree\\\\\therefore (4a+7+7a - 3)\degree = 180\degree\\\\\therefore (11a+4)\degree = 180\degree\\\\\therefore 11a+4 = 180\\\\\therefore 11a= 180-4\\\\\therefore a= \frac{176}{11}\\\\\therefore a= 16\\\\\because m\angle C = (4a+7)\degree\\\\\therefore m\angle C = (4\times 16+7)\degree\\\\\therefore m\angle C = (64+7)\degree\\\\\huge \orange {\boxed {\therefore m\angle C = 71\degree}} \\\\$
