simplify the expression
-10k + (-4m)-8k+2m
I did the last two problems for you. Now it's your turn.
I'll be glad to check your answer.
- 10 k + ( - 4 m ) - 8 k + 2 m =
- 10 k - 4 m - 8 k + 2 m =
- 18 k - 2 m =
2 ( - 9 k - m ) =
- 2 ( 9 k + m )
To simplify the expression -10k + (-4m) - 8k + 2m, we can combine the like terms.
First, let's group the terms with the same variable:
-10k - 8k + (-4m) + 2m
Now, we can add or subtract the coefficients of the like terms:
(-10 - 8)k + (-4 + 2)m
Simplifying further, we get:
-18k - 2m
Therefore, the simplified expression is -18k - 2m.
