Problem 76
Question
Simplify each algebraic expression. $$5+9 y-29 y$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The simplified expression is \(5 - 20y\).
1Step 1: Identify Like Terms
In the given expression, \(5 + 9y - 29y\), identify the like terms. The like terms here are \(9y\) and \(-29y\).
2Step 2: Combine Like Terms
Combine these like terms by adding or subtracting them as indicated in the expression. In this case: \(9y - 29y = -20y\).
3Step 3: Write the Simplified Expression
Now, write down the simplified expression, replacing \(9y - 29y\) with \(-20y\). This gives: \(5 - 20y\).
