Question

How do you simplify t−25t+t−20?

Answer 1

Answer : - 23t - 20

Step by step explanation :

$t - 25t + t - 20$

If a term doesn't have a coefficient it is considered that the coefficient is 1

$= > 1t - 25t + 1t - 20$

Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients

$= > (1 - 25 + 1)t - 20$

Calculate the sum of the positive numbers

$= >( 2 - 25)t - 20$

Calculate the difference

$= > - 23t - 20$
