Question

Simplify the expression: 6g+8g+1g+2g+8.
A) 17g+8
B) 17g+1
C) 17g+2
D)17g+16

Answer 1

To simplify the expression, combine like terms by adding the coefficients of 'g', resulting in 17g, and add the constant to get 17g + 8.

So, the correct answer is A) 17g + 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the expression 6g + 8g + 1g + 2g + 8, we combine like terms by adding the coefficients of similar variables (the terms with 'g').

1. Add the 'g' terms: 6g + 8g + 1g + 2g equals 17g.
2. Since there are no other 'g' terms, the '8' remains unchanged and the expression simplifies to 17g + 8.

Thus, the simplified expression is 17g + 8.

So, the correct answer is A) 17g + 8.
