Question

Simplify the expression.9y + 1/4 + 6y + 1/4 + 8y - 4z =

Answer 1

`23y-4z+(1)/(2)`

Step-by-step explanation

`9y+(1)/(4)+6y+(1)/(4)+8y-4z`

Step 1

add like terms (Like terms are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same power), in this case we have variables y and z, to the power 1

then

`\begin{gathered} \text{reorder} \\ 9y+(1)/(4)+6y+(1)/(4)+8y-4z \\ 9y+6y+8y-4z+(1)/(4)+(1)/(4) \\ 23y-4z+(2)/(4) \end{gathered}`

Step 2

simplify the fraction number

`\begin{gathered} 23y-4z+(2)/(4) \\ 23y-4z+(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`

I hope this helps you
