Question

Simplify the following expression by combining like terms: -2t + 4 + 7 + 8t + 6y.

Answer 1

6t+6y+11

Explanation:

Like terms basically mean that if it has the same variable, you can add or subtract them. So if we have -2t+8t, we get 6t in total, we also have 4+7=11, and since there is no other y variable, we keep it as is. Therefore the answer is 6t+6y+11.

Answer 2

I think that after combining all the like terms, your simplified expression will be 6t + 11 + 6y
