2x - 52 is already simplified. 52 doesn't have an x so it and 2x are not like terms. With multiplication, it would be possible to simplify further but since it's addition you can't.
You cannot solve this problem unless you know the value of x. divide it by 2 x-26 then u need x to solve
No, that wouldn't work - say x was equal to 50. 2x50=100. 100-52=48.
If you used x-26 (50-26) you would get 24. 2x-52 is already simplified.
To simplify an equation is to combine like terms, but you do not solve it for example: simplify 3X+4-X-6 2X-2
No, you can only simplify an expression. To solve for a variable, it must be in an equation.
That's not an equation. It need a = sign before you can solve it. However you can simplify it by combining like factors
You cannot solve an expression. You can only simplify it. Assuming you mean simplify, you do this by combining like terms. Since both terms have an "r" in them, you simply add the coefficients together. Example: 5x + 2x would be 7x Example: -3y + 8y would be 5y Example: -2p - 4p would be -6p You should be able to simplify your problem now.
z + 8 - 2 is an expression, not an equation. An expression cannot be solved. At best, you can simplify it to z + 6.
