Question

Simplify the expression. Explain each step.
5.3 + (W + 1.2)

Answer 1

5.3 + (w+1.2)

Remove the parenthesis because there’s no distribution involved...

5.3+w+1.2

Add 5.3 and 1.2

(5.3+1.2)+w

6.5+w


Your answer is *6.5+w* the number does not have a variable (w) so we cannot solve any further ^^
