Question

Write an equivalent expression for 7 + 5 k minus 2 minus 3 k + n. Which statements are true about the steps for writing the equivalent expression? Check all that apply.

Combine the constant terms by adding 7 and –2.
The equivalent expression is 9 + 3 k.
n, 5 k, and negative 3 k are like variable terms.
Combine the like variable terms by adding the coefficients.
5 k and negative 3 k are like variable terms.
The constants 7 and –2 are like terms.
The equivalent expression is 5 + 2 k + n.

Answer 1

Shown Below

Explanation:

7+5k-2-3k+n

If you combine like terms, you should get 5+2k+n.

• Combine the constant terms by adding 7 and –2.
• Combine the like variable terms by adding the coefficients.
• 5 k and negative 3 k are like variable terms.
• The constants 7 and –2 are like terms.
• The equivalent expression is 5 + 2 k + n.
