Combining like terms simplify each expression

Combine like terms that share a common variable. If a scalar multiple is outside the parentheses, use the distributive property to expand the expression.

15) I cannot read the whole expression.

16) 4n - n = 3n

17) -3x - 9 + 15x = 12x - 9

18) -9k + 8k = -k

19) -16n - 14n = -30n

20) 15n - 19n = -4n

21) - 4 + 7(1 - 3m) = -4 + 7 - 21m = -21m + 3

22) -5n + 3(6 + 7n) = -5n + 18 + 21n = 16n + 18

23) -2n - (9 - 10n) = -2n - 9 +10n = 8n - 9

24) 10 - 5(9n - 9) = 10 - 45n + 45 = -45n + 55

25) 9a + 10(6a - 1) = 9a + 60a - 10 = 69a - 10

26) -9(6m - 3) + 6(1 + 4m) = -54m + 27 + 6 + 24m = -30m + 33

27) -10(1 - 9x) + 6(x - 10) = -10 + 90x + 6x - 60 = 96x - 70

28) 5(-2n + 4) + 2(n + 3) = -10n + 20 + 2n + 6 = -8n + 26

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

−3

x=17

answer:
