Answer:

17t

Explanation:

Since they have the same variable, you can add them together to simplify (combining like terms)

14t+3t=17t

_______________________________________

Another example would be this:

Simplify 3x + 5t +6x + 2t^2

Both 3x and 6x have x, so you can simplify to

9x + 5t + 2t^2

You CANNOT combine 5t and 2t^2 because one is raised to the second power while the other is not

Hi there!

Your equation is 14t + 3t

Since the equation has the same terms, we will just add 14t + 3t

Your answer is 17t

Hope this helped!~
