Add or subtract
5.) ( m^2-m-3 ) + ( m-4 )
First we need to simplify each term before adding:
- The first term, m^2-m-3, cannot be simplified further.
- The second term, m-4, cannot be simplified further.
Now we can add the two terms together:
(m^2-m-3) + (m-4) = m^2 - m + m - 3 - 4
Simplifying further:
m^2 - 7
Therefore, ( m^2-m-3 ) + ( m-4 ) = m^2 - 7.
To add or subtract the expression (m^2 - m - 3) + (m - 4), we can simply combine like terms.
First, let's simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
m^2 - m - 3 + m - 4
Next, we can combine the "m" terms: -m + m = 0
Our expression becomes:
m^2 - 3 - 4
Finally, we can simplify the remaining terms:
m^2 - 7
Therefore, the final simplified expression is m^2 - 7.
To add or subtract the expression (m^2 - m - 3) + (m - 4), we can simply combine like terms.
First, let's distribute the positive sign to both terms in the first parenthesis:
m^2 - m - 3 + m - 4
Next, we can group the like terms together:
(m^2 - m + m) + (-3 - 4)
The terms -m and +m cancel each other out:
m^2 - 7
Therefore, the sum of (m^2 - m - 3) + (m - 4) is m^2 - 7.
