Question

Hello! I am not quite grasping the concept could you please walk me through?

Answer 1

When simplifying using addition and subtraction, you combine “like terms” by keeping the "like term" and adding or subtracting the numerical coefficients.

`\begin{gathered} 8t+5+3t-3=8t+3t+5-3 \\ =(8+3)t+(5-3) \\ =11t+2 \end{gathered}`
