Question

Simplify the expression by combining like terms.
22+5m−4m+7n−8

Answer 1

14+1m+7

This is because you subtract 22 from 8, 14.

Then 5m-4m=1m

Finally you add 7n

Answer 2

14 + m + 7n

Explanation:

we combine like terms to solve 22 + 5m - 4m + 7n - 8. we have:

22 - 8 = 14

5m - 4m = 1m or m

7n stays the same as there are no other n terms. the simplified expression is:

14 + m + 7n
