Combined the life terms in the following expression 8A plus B minus 3A is the answer 5A plus 3B5A plus B5A minus B8A minus 3B
To combine like terms in the expression, we add or subtract coefficients that have the same variable.
Given expression: 8A + B - 3A
Let's first combine the terms with the variable A:
8A - 3A = (8 - 3)A = 5A
Now, let's combine the terms with the variable B:
5A + B = 5A + 1B (Note: 'B' can be written as '1B' for clarity)
So, the final simplified expression is:
5A + B
