For this case we have the following expressions:
a)
, it is observed that they are similar terms so they can be subtracted. So, we have:
in its most simplified form.
b)
, to simplify we apply the distibutive property that establishes:
, then:

c)
, it is observed that they are not similar terms because the variables that accompany the coefficients (26 and 17) are different. Thus, the expression can not be simplified.
d)
, we apply distributive property to the terms within parentheses:
, add similar terms taking into account that equal signs are added and the same sign is placed, so we have:
in its simplified form
ANswer:


, can not be simplified
