Problem 54
Question
Simplify each algebraic expression. $$8 y+7+10 y$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The simplified form of the given expression is \(18y + 7\).
1Step 1: Identify Like Terms
Like terms are terms that have the same variable and power. Here, the like terms are \(8y\) and \(10y\).
2Step 2: Combine Like Terms
To simplify the expression, we add the coefficients of the like terms together. So, \(8y + 10y = 18y\)
3Step 3: Rewrite the simplified expression
After combining the like terms, replace them in the expression and rewrite it. The integer term \(7\) stays the same. This gives us the simplified expression \(18y + 7\)
