You need to do what's called combining like terms.
_________________________________________________________________
If you have (7x+74y-9z+68) + (9q-2x+19z-60), you group them together,
STEP 1: (7x+74y-9z+68) + (9q-2x+3x+19z-60) ===> (7x+3x-2x)+(74y)+(-9z+19z)+(9q)+(68-60)
_________________________________________________________________
Now, we need to evaluate. All we do is mentally remove the variables, but not really. Work as if they were constants, but only for addition and subtraction.
STEP 2: (8x)+(74y)+(10z)+(9q)+(8)
_________________________________________________________________
Finally, remove the parentheses, and for the sake of tidiness organise the variable alphabetically like shown below, and there is your answer:
ANSWER: 9q+8x+74y+10z+8
What else can I help you with?
How do you evaluate variable expressions?
To evaluate a variable expression, replace all the variables with numbers and simplify the resulting numerical expression. 3m for m = 9 3(9)=27
Which of the expressions are equivalent?
To determine which expressions are equivalent, you need to analyze their structure and simplify them if necessary. Equivalent expressions yield the same value for all variable inputs, so you can also substitute specific values to test for equality. If you provide the specific expressions in question, I can help you evaluate their equivalence.
How are the order of operations and combining like terms are used to simplify expressions?
They are used to simplify expressions by helping to reduce the numbers that there is
Can you explain the significance of the keyword "1x-9" in the context of algebraic expressions?
In algebraic expressions, the keyword "1x-9" represents a linear equation with one variable (x) and a constant term (-9). This expression is significant because it helps to simplify and solve equations by isolating the variable and finding its value.
What does simplify variable expressions mean?
It means to replace an expression by another one that is equivalent, but simpler. For example: 3x + 5x can be written as: 8x because of the distributive property.
How do you simplify numbers and letters?
To simplify numbers and letters, combine like terms by adding or subtracting coefficients of the same variable. For example, in the expression 3x + 5x, you can simplify it to 8x. For numerical expressions, perform arithmetic operations to reduce the expression to its simplest form, such as turning 4 + 2 to 6. Always ensure to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS) when simplifying complex expressions.
Which expression is equivalent to 4.8 2.2w-1.4w 2.4?
Lots of expressions are equivalent to it. But for a start, you may want to simplify it, by combining like terms - i.e., add the terms with the variable "w", and separately add the terms without a variable.

What is the definition of equivalen variable expressions?
Two expressions are "equivalent" if they have the same result for any values of the variable or variables.
