Question

Simply the variable expression below as much as possible.

7x + (5.6) z

Answer 1

7x + 5.6z

Explanation:

To simplify any expression we use PEMDA ( order of operation)

Parenthesis

Exponents

Multiplication and division

Addition and subtraction

7x + (5.6) z

Here we have 5.6 inside the parenthesis

We multiply 5.6 with z

so it becomes 5.6z

7x + 5.6 z

Both terms 7x and 5.6z have different variable so they are not like terms

We cannot combine unlike terms, so we leave as it is

7x + 5.6z
