When you have an expression you have to simplify by eliminating all grouping symbols and combining like terms.
You add (or subtract) like terms. This will reduce the number of terms in the expression and that is the extent of simplification that you can achieve using this process.
a + 7b + 2c
The given expression is 5x + 2y + 19x - 2y - 1. To simplify this expression, we combine like terms. Combining the x terms gives us 24x (5x + 19x) and combining the y terms gives us 0y (2y - 2y). Therefore, the simplified expression is 24x - 1.
To simplify the expression 5d + 2(3d), you first distribute the 2 to the terms inside the parentheses, which gives you 5d + 6d. Combining like terms, you add the coefficients of the d-terms together to get 11d. Therefore, the simplified expression is 11d.
