Q. Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression.7k+3k+11=
Identify like terms: Identify like terms in the expression.In the expression 7k+3k+11, the like terms are 7k and 3k, because they both contain the variable k.
Combine like terms: Combine the like terms by adding their coefficients.The coefficients of are and 333. Adding them together gives us 777 + 333 = 101010.
Write combined terms: Write the combined like terms as a single term.\newlineAfter combining the coefficients, we get 10k10k10k. So, the expression 7k+3k+117k+3k+117k+3k+11 becomes 10k+1110k+1110k+11.
Check for remaining terms: Check for any remaining like terms and simplify further if possible.\newlineThere are no more like terms to combine, and the constant 111111 cannot be combined with the term 10k10k10k. Therefore, the expression is already in its simplest form.
