Question

Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression. 5 + 9t + 3

Answer 1

9t + 8

Explanation:

9t + (5+3)

Think of it like this. You have 9 oranges, 5 grapes, and 3 grapes. How many grapes and oranges do you have?

Math wise, we will have t representing oranges, and the normal numbers representing grapes. All you have to do is combine them using whatever sign separates them. If you need more help, let me know.
