Q. Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression.m+8+6n−3=
Identify Like Terms: Identify like terms in the expression. Like terms are terms that contain the same variable raised to the same power. In the expression m+8+6n−3, the like terms are the constants 8 and −3.
Combine Like Terms: Combine the like terms (constants) 8 and −3. To combine them, simply add them together: 8+(−3)=8−3=5.
Write Combined Expression: Write the expression with the combined like terms. The variables m and 6n do not have like terms, so they remain unchanged. The new expression is m+5+6n.
Rearrange Terms: Rearrange the terms for clarity, if necessary. However, in this case, the expression is already clear and does not need rearranging. The final equivalent expression is m+5+6n.
