Question

Is the expression 3x + 2x - 4 ​ in simplest form? Explain.

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

No, this expression is not in simplest form

3x +2x -4

We still have like terms that can be combined.

The like terms in this case are the terms with variables, 3x and 2x

They can be added together

(3x+2x)-4

5x-4

5x-4 is the expression in simplest form

Answer 2

No

Explanation:

you have to subtract 2x from 3x, so you have just x( you don't need the one in front of it)

So the answer would be ( x-4)

Hope that this helps you and have a great day :)
