Answer 1

Explanation:

( -14.2b -97.35 ) + ( 6.76d -118.7 -3.4d )

= -14.2b -97.35 +6.76d -118.7 -3.4d

= -14.2b -3.36d -216.05 ( collect like terms )

Answer 2

The sum is:

`\left(-14.2b-97.35\right)+\left(6.76d-118.7-3.4d\right)=3.36d-14.2b-216.05`

Explanation:

Given the expression

`\left(-14.2b-97.35\right)+\left(6.76d-118.7-3.4d\right)`

Remove parentheses: (a) = a

`-14.2b-97.35+6.76d-118.7-3.4d`

Group like terms

`6.76d-3.4d-14.2b-97.35-118.7`

Add similar elements: 6.76d-3.4d=3.36d

`3.36d-14.2b-97.35-118.7`

Subtract the numbers: -97.35-118.7=-216.05

`3.36d-14.2b-216.05`

Therefore, the sum is:

`\left(-14.2b-97.35\right)+\left(6.76d-118.7-3.4d\right)=3.36d-14.2b-216.05`
