Question

Simplify 7m - 11n - n + 5m.

Answer 1

The simplified form of the given expression is 12(m -n).

Explanation:

The given expression is

`7m - 11n - n + 5m`

We need to simplify the given expression.

Rearrange the terms according to the variables.

`7m+5m - 11n - n`

On combining like terms, we get

`(7m+5m)+( - 11n - n)`

On simplification, we get

`(12m)+( -12n)`

`12m -12n`

Taking GCF common.

`12(m -n)`

Therefore the simplified form of the given expression is 12(m -n).
