Question

What is 16a-3a+2+9b+5c equal ​

Answer 1

13a + 9b + 5c + 2

Explanation:

Combine like terms. Like terms are terms that have the same amount of the same variables. Reformat the given expression so that like expressions are next to each other:

16a - 3a + 9b + 5c + 2

Combine the like terms, 16a and -3a:

16a - 3a = 13a

13a + 9b + 5c + 2 would be your answer.

Note that none of the remaining terms share like terms. Note also that when a term does not have (a) variable(s) attached (such as the 2 in the end of the expression), it is known as a constant.

Answer 2

13a + 9b + 5c + 2

Explanation:

Given expression,

→ 16a - 3a + 2 + 9b + 5c

Main steps included in solving,

→ Rearranging the expression

→ Combining the like terms

Let's simplify the expression,

→ 16a - 3a + 2 + 9b + 5c

→ (16a - 3a) + (9b) + (5c) + 2

→ (13a) + 9b + 5c + 2

→ 13a + 9b + 5c + 2

Hence, this is the answer.
