Explanation:

• NOTE: I am kind of confused about the way this question is formatted, so I tried to answer everything I could decipher.

1 a.) –2t + 5t – 2 – t → 2t – 2

1 b.) –5z + 4 – 4z → –9z + 4

2 a.) 8v + 3 – 10v → –2v + 3

2 b.) –6 – 6k – 3 – 7k → –13k – 9

3 a.) –6 – 3w + 4 + 10w → 7w − 2

3 b.) 9s + s → 10s

4 a.) 6 + 8b – 1 – 8b → 5

4 b.) 1p + 6 + 5 – 4p → –3p + 11

5 a.) 4x – 3x + 9 – 6x 5 → –29x + 9

b.) 9v + 6v – 2 – 10x 6 → 15v – 60x – 2

a.) n + 2 – (–4)n 6 → 25n + 2

b.) 6n – 3n 7 → –15n

a.) –4x – 4x + 4 – 9x 7 → –71x + 4

b.) –9b + (–6)b → –15b
