Question

Simplify:

14f – 5s + 6f – 20 + 17s – 2f

Answer 1

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\large\text{14f - 5s + 6f - 20 + 17s - 2f}`

`\large\textsf{COMBINE the LIKE TERMS}`

`\large\text{(14f + 6f - 2f) + (-5s + 17s) + (-20)}`

`\large\textsf{SOLVING for the F-VALUES}`

`\large\text{14f + 6f - 2f}\\\large\text{14f + 6f = \bf 20f}\\\large\text{20f - 2f = \bf 18f}`

`\large\textsf{SOLVING for the S-VALUES}`

`\large\text{-5s + 17s = \bf 12s}`

`\large\text{-20 \textsf{will stay the same because there is NOT any like terms for it}}`

`\large\text{-20 = \bf -20}`

`\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Answer: \huge \bf {18f + 12s - 20}}}}\huge\checkmark`

`\large\textsf{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}`
