Problem 50
Question
Simplify each algebraic expression. $$14 b-5 b$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The simplified form of the algebraic expression \(14b - 5b\) is \(9b\).
1Step 1: Identifying Like Terms
In the expression \(14b - 5b\), 14b and -5b are like-terms because they both have the same variable 'b'.
2Step 2: Combining Like Terms
To simplify the expression, you subtract 5b from 14b because the operation between them is subtraction. This results to \(14b - 5b = 9b\).
