c.4x+14x
d.3m+16m-7m
e.6a+4a-2a

Simplify the following expressions (if possible).
a. 240b ab — 7
b. 5y+y—3y
c. 5t+Ss
d.
e. 7r+2r+5r—r
a. 240b ab - 7
Since there is no common factor or like term in the expression, it cannot be simplified further.
b. 5y + y - 3y
Combining the like terms, we have:
5y + y - 3y = (5y + y) - 3y = 6y - 3y = 3y
c. 5t + Ss
Since there is no common factor or like term in the expression, it cannot be simplified further.
d. The expression is missing, please provide the expression.
e. 7r + 2r + 5r - r
Combining the like terms, we have:
7r + 2r + 5r - r = (7r + 2r + 5r) - r = 14r - r = 13r
d. 4t+8t-3+2t
d. 4t + 8t - 3 + 2t
Combining like terms, we have:
4t + 8t + 2t - 3 = (4t + 8t + 2t) - 3 = 14t - 3
To simplify the given expressions by adding or subtracting like terms, we need to combine the terms that have the same variables raised to the same power.
a. 7t - 2t:
Since both terms have the variable 't' raised to the power of 1, we can combine them. When subtracting '2t' from '7t', we subtract the coefficients (7 - 2 = 5), and keep the same variable and exponent. Therefore, the simplified expression is 5t.
b. 120b + 2ab:
In this expression, we have two different terms: '120b' and '2ab'. Since they have different variables ('b' and 'ab'), they cannot be combined. Therefore, this expression cannot be simplified further.
c. 8fg - 2fg:
Similar to the first expression, we have two terms with the same variable 'fg'. When subtracting '2fg' from '8fg', we subtract the coefficients (8 - 2 = 6) and keep the same variable and exponent. Therefore, the simplified expression is 6fg.
