I need help solving n-10+9n-3

Question

 I NEED HELP ON COMBINING LIKE TERMS!!!! SOS!!!

Answer 1

Grindle's method for of combining like terms for BEGINNERS

 

Example: n-10+9n-3

Step 1: Put parentheses around EVERY term; (n) - (10) + (9n) - (3)

Step 2: Replace all subtraction symbols with an addition symbol AND put a negative symbol INSIDE the parentheses of the term; (n) + (-10) + (9n) + (-3)

Step 3: Move the "n" terms so that they are together; (1n) + (9n) + (-10) + (-3)

  Special note (n) = (1n)
Step 4: Add the "n" terms together; (10n) + (-10) + (-3)

Step 5: Add the "number" terms; (10n) + (-13)

Step 6: Remove parentheses; 10n - 13

 

Another example: -x + 10 + 9x - 3

Step 1: -(x) + (10) + (9x) - (3)

Step 2: (-x) + (10) + (9x) + (-3)

Step 3: (-1x) + (9x) + (10) + (-3)

   Special note (-x) = (-1x)

Step 4: (8x) + (10) + (-3)

Step 5: (8x) + (7)

Step 6: 8x + 7

 

I hope this helps you.

Answer 2

In this question, separate variables and constants

n-10+9n-3

here variables are n and 9n and constants are -10, -3

so n+9n-10-3= 10n-13

 

Answer 3

n-10+9n-3

=n+9n-10-3

=10n-13
