a. mg b. g c. kg

2. What is a simpler way to write 12d+7d+5-3d+2d? (add together all the numbers with ”d” keep the ”d” after the total)

My Guesses:
1. kg
2. I have two answers:
I am pretty sure it is: 24d-5

How did u figure #2 out?

12d, 7d, 2d and -3d add up to +18d.
The +5 doesn't get added to anything else.
