• Basic rules to know for simplifications !

» First of all , One must provide importance to the brackets , That is The terms which are provided within brackets must be solved first.

Here , I had solved [ ( - 48 - 1 )] Firstly and provided answer as - 49 .

» One must combine the terms , That is If there are two constants , It must be grouped together. If there are two or three variables they must be grouped together.

Here , all are constant terms (numbers) , Hence I simplified all terms together.

Note :

• When two positive terms gets add up , The resultant will be positive.
• When two negative terms gets add up , The resultant will be negative.
• If the greater number is negative and smaller number is positive , If these add up , The result will be negative and these numbers should be subtracted.
