collect like terms:

Question

collect like terms:

19c + 5d -10c -8d

it dosent come out right

I get 9c + 13d

Answer 1

19c - 10c

+5d - 8d

There are signs in front of the numbers...don't forget about those

Answer 2

To collect like terms, you need to combine the coefficients of the variables that are the same. In this case, the variables are "c" and "d".

Let's begin by combining the "c" terms:

19c - 10c = 9c

Now let's combine the "d" terms:

5d - 8d = -3d

Now we can write the simplified expression:

9c - 3d

Therefore, the correct simplification of the expression 19c + 5d - 10c - 8d is 9c - 3d.

collect like terms:

9c-3d

19c - 10c

To collect like terms, you need to combine the coefficients of the variables that are the same. In this case, the variables are "c" and "d".
