Problem 58
Question
Simplify each algebraic expression. $$13 a+15+2 a+11$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The simplified expression is \(15a + 26\).
1Step 1: Identify like terms
In the given expression, the like terms are \(13a\) and \(2a\). These are the terms that contain the variable 'a'. The constants are \(15\) and \(11\).
2Step 2: Combine like terms
Add together \(13a\) and \(2a\) to get \(15a\). Similarly, add together \(15\) and \(11\) to get \(26\). So, the combined expression is \(15a + 26\).
