Question

Can you simplify this algebraic expression: 3x - 5 + 23x - 9

Answer 1

Answer:

Now, 3x + 23x, add the two like terms, and (-5) + (-9), add the two constant. In simplifying just combine all like terms. It will give you 26x -14. Therefore, the answer here is 26x-14, but if you want other way of simplifying, it can be written as 2(13x-7).
