Question

Rewrite in simplest terms: (-4X – 10) + (62 – 10)

Answer 1

We have the expression:

`\mleft(-4x-10\mright)+(6x-10)`

We can simplify this by adding xs and adding numbers separately.

The steps are shown below:

`\begin{gathered} (-4x-10)+(6x-10) \\ =(-4x+6x)+(-10-10) \\ =(2x)+(-20) \\ =2x-20 \end{gathered}`

Answer
`2x-20`
