no, combining like terms means combine the terms that are the same

15+x+6+x=28

combine like terms

21+2x=28

2x=7

x=3.5

How do you simplify 3x 2y 5x-6y?

To simplify the expression (3x + 2y + 5x - 6y), combine like terms. First, combine the (x) terms: (3x + 5x = 8x). Then, combine the (y) terms: (2y - 6y = -4y). Thus, the simplified expression is (8x - 4y).

What is the answer to 8x 4 5x - 11?

To solve the expression ( 8x + 4 - 5x - 11 ), first combine like terms. Combine the ( x ) terms: ( 8x - 5x = 3x ). Then combine the constant terms: ( 4 - 11 = -7 ). The simplified expression is ( 3x - 7 ).


What is 12r 5 3r -5?

To simplify the expression (12r + 5 + 3r - 5), combine like terms. First, combine the (r) terms: (12r + 3r = 15r). Then, combine the constant terms: (5 - 5 = 0). Thus, the simplified expression is (15r).


What is 13x2 plus 2x-7?

To simplify the expression ( 13x^2 + 2x - 7 ), you simply combine the terms. Since there are no like terms to combine, the expression remains ( 13x^2 + 2x - 7 ).


What the answer to 7w 6-10w-2?

To simplify the expression ( 7w + 6 - 10w - 2 ), combine like terms. First, combine the ( w ) terms: ( 7w - 10w = -3w ). Next, combine the constant terms: ( 6 - 2 = 4 ). The simplified expression is ( -3w + 4 ).

Does an expression have an answer?

A mathematical expression does not have an answer, if it is algebraic and all of the terms are unlike. For example, x+7y does not have an answer because there are no definite solutions, and there is no possibility to combine like terms. However, the expression 2x+7y+3x does have an answer, but the solution is merely the combination of like terms. (5x+7y)


What is 2w 2x-12y 7w 9x 6y?

To simplify the expression (2w + 2x - 12y + 7w + 9x + 6y), combine like terms. First, combine the (w) terms: (2w + 7w = 9w). Next, combine the (x) terms: (2x + 9x = 11x). Finally, combine the (y) terms: (-12y + 6y = -6y). The simplified expression is (9w + 11x - 6y).
