To simplify an equation is to combine like terms, but you do not solve it for example: simplify 3X+4-X-6 2X-2
3x
x^2 + 3x + 2/(-3x) - x^2 - 2=3x-2+2/(-3x)=3x-2-2/(3x)
3x + 5 = -20. First, subtract 5 from both sides of the equation: 3x + 5 - 5 = -20 - 5; and simplify: 3x = -25. Then divide both sides by 3: 3x / 3 = -25 / 3; and simplify: x = -8 1/3 (or -8.33)
(5x -3x) (2y +8y) 2x + 10y
5x-6+3x+128x-6+128x+6
To simplify an equation is to combine like terms, but you do not solve it for example: simplify 3X+4-X-6 2X-2
12x + 6=9x + 27 12x-9x + 6=9x - 9x + 27 subtract 9x from both sides. 3x + 6 = 27 simplify 3x + 6 - 6=27 - 6 subtract 6 from both sides. 3x=21 simplify 3x/3=21/3 divide both sides by 3 x=7 simplify 12(7) + 6=>84+6=>90 9(7) + 27=>63+27=>90 It checks out!

-3x2 + 16x + 12 = -3x2 + 18x - 2x + 12 = -3x*(x - 6) - 2(x - 6) = -(3x + 2)*(x - 6)
13x+27=3x+32 Reorder 13x-3x=32-27 Simplify 10x=5 Simplify x=5/10 Simplify x=1/2 Answer
3x
Assuming simplify = factor...x3 - 3x + 2 = (x-1)(x2+x-2)
3x+5=-19 subtract 5 from both sides (3x+5)-5=-19-5 simplify 3x=-24 divide 3 on both sides 3x/3=-24/3 simplify x=-8
6x^2

The simplified expression is 3x - 7y.
