simplify.
1) 9 - 3 - 4
2) 9 + 1 +3
3) 6 + 1 + 3
4) 5 + 4 - 2
5) 6 - 5 + 2
6) 9 - 2 + 5
I will be happy to check your work.
? I need help. I'm asking what it means to simplify :O
It means make it one term. As in what is 9-3,then that -4?
To simplify these expressions, you need to perform the operations (addition and subtraction) in the correct order following the rules of arithmetic:
1) 9 - 3 - 4:
Start with the leftmost operation, which is subtraction.
9 - 3 = 6
Now subtract 4: 6 - 4 = 2
So, the simplified expression is 2.
2) 9 + 1 + 3:
Start with the leftmost operation, which is addition.
9 + 1 = 10
Now add 3: 10 + 3 = 13
So, the simplified expression is 13.
3) 6 + 1 + 3:
Start with the leftmost operation, which is addition.
6 + 1 = 7
Now add 3: 7 + 3 = 10
So, the simplified expression is 10.
4) 5 + 4 - 2:
Start with the leftmost operation, which is addition.
5 + 4 = 9
Now subtract 2: 9 - 2 = 7
So, the simplified expression is 7.
5) 6 - 5 + 2:
Start with the leftmost operation, which is subtraction.
6 - 5 = 1
Now add 2: 1 + 2 = 3
So, the simplified expression is 3.
6) 9 - 2 + 5:
Start with the leftmost operation, which is subtraction.
9 - 2 = 7
Now add 5: 7 + 5 = 12
So, the simplified expression is 12.
Remember to always perform the addition and subtraction operations from left to right, following the order in which they appear in the expression.
