Thus, combining the first two terms gets:

13.01d-2.65

Answer 2

13.01d - 2.65

Explanation:

Like terms are the terms which have the same variables and powers. ( however the coefficients are same or not )

We combine the like terms by adding or subtracting them,

Here, the given expression,

3.26d + 9.75d - 2.65

Where, 3.26d and 9.75d are like terms,

Since, 3.26d + 9.75d = 13.01d

Hence, 3.26d + 9.75d - 2.65 = 13.01d - 2.65
