Simplify this expression.

–6w + (–8) + 1 + (–7w)
A. –w – 7
B. –13w – 7
C. w + 9
D. 13w + 9

Answer 1

B. -13w-7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's simplify the problem by grouping the like terms together: (-6w), (-7w), and (-8), (1).

Second, now that you know the like terms solve them each individually:

(-6w) + (-7w) = -13w

(-8) + 1 = -7

So your answer is -13w minus -7

Answer 2

-13w-7

Explanation:

-6w+(-8)+1+(-7w)

-6w-8+1-7w

-6w-7w-8+1

-13w-8+1

-13w-7
