Answer 1

Combine the constant terms by adding 7 and –2.

Combine the like variable terms by adding the coefficients.

5 k and negative 3 k are like variable terms.

The constants 7 and –2 are like terms.

The equivalent expression is 5 + 2 k + n.

Explanation:

Given

`7 + 5k - 2 - 3k + n`

Required

Select right steps

True: The constants 7 and –2 are like terms.

True: Combine the constant terms by adding 7 and –2.

`7 + 5k - 2 - 3k + n`

`- 2+7 + 5k - 3k + n`

`5 + 5k - 3k + n`

True: Combine the like variable terms by adding the coefficients.

`5 + 5k - 3k + n`

`5 + 2k + n`

True: The equivalent expression is 5 + 2 k + n.
