m+8+2+n

m + n + 10

thats the complete answer? wouldn't it be mn+10 or 10mn?

No. There's no multiplication in your problem. It's all addition.

oh yeah! thanks a bunch!

You're welcome.

To simplify the expression m + 8 + 2 + n, you can combine all the like terms. Like terms are terms that have the same variable and exponent.

In this expression, there are two variables: m and n. The terms 8 and 2 do not have a variable, so they can be combined together.

The simplified expression would be:

m + 8 + 2 + n = m + 10 + n

There is no further simplification possible as the terms with m and n are already combined.
