Question

Simplify 9 + 7 + n.

n + 17
n + 16
16n

Answer 1

the answer is n+16. there is addition in the middle

Answer 2

B) n + 16

Explanation:

We are given the expression 9 + 7 + n.

Here we need to simplify.

Simplify means we need to simplify the like terms.

Let's see what a like term is.

If we have the same variable with the same exponent, then they are called like terms.

The constants are the like terms, we can simplify them.

Examples:

2xy, -3xy are the like terms

`5xy^2, -8xy^2` are like terms

4, 5, -7, 8 are the like terms.

In the given expression 9 + 7 + n

The like terms are 9 and 7. There are in the operation of addition. So we can add them.

So, 9 + 7 + n

= 16 + n

This can be written as n + 16 by commutative property of addition.

Therefore, the answer is B) n + 16
