Question

MATH Simplify the expression -6w + (-8) + 1 + (-7w)

Answer 1

Answer: -13w - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

-6w + (-8) + 1 + (-7w)

Combine the like terms

-8 + 1 = -7

-6w + (-7) + (-7w)

-6w + (-7w) = -13w

-13w + (-7)

However, because adding a negative number is the same as subtracting the number as a positive, you can just make it -13w - 7
