Problem 50
Question
Simplify each algebraic expression. $$26 y+(-14 y)$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The simplified form of the given algebraic expression is \(12 y\).
1Step 1: Identify the like terms
The algebraic expression contains like terms, which are terms with the same variable. In this case, it's \(26 y\) and \(-14 y\).
2Step 2: Add the like terms
The operation sign before a term belongs to that term. So, here it will be \(26 y - 14 y\).
3Step 3: Simplify the expression
Perform the subtraction: \(26 - 14 = 12\). So, the simplified expression is \(12 y\).
