Answer:

-6n + 8

Explanation:

(-8n + 11) + (2n - 3)

First let's look at the expressions within the parentheses.

-8n + 11 ⇒ This expression is fully simplified because you cannot add different variables together.

2n - 3 ⇒ This expression is fully simplified because you cannot subtract different variables together.

Since we are adding these expressions, we can take away the parentheses.

-8n + 11 + 2n - 3

Now, let's rearrange the term so the like terms are next to each other.

-8n + 2n + 11 - 3

Simplify the variable.

-6n + 11 - 3

Simplify the constants.

-6n + 8

This is your simplified expression.

Hope this helps!
