Question

Simplify. (m + 11) + (n + 44)

Answer 1

`(m + 11) + (n + 44) \\ \\ m + 11 + n + 44 \ / \ simplify \\ \\ m + n + 55 \ / \ simplify \\ \\ Answer: \fbox {m + n + 55}`

Answer 2

Group like terms, in this case terms with variables and terms without. (m + 11) + (n + 44) = (m + n) + (11 + 44) Then simplify. (m + n) + (11 + 44) = (m + n) + 55 = m + n + 55 Final answer: m + n + 55
