Explanation:
The like terms are the ones containing the variable 'c'. They are combined by adding their coefficients.
Working just with the coefficients of c, we have ...
![2(3)/(4) +3(1)/(8)=(2+3)+\left((6)/(8)+(1)/(8)\right)=5(7)/(8)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/kpltvd1rp3r90tioxpoqmwn4hor7e515z6.png)
Then the simplified expression is ...
(2 3/4)c +(3 1/8)c +7
= (5 7/8)c +7
