Identify Like Terms: Identify like terms in the expression 7n−6n+7. Like terms are terms that contain the same variable raised to the same power. Here, 7n and −6n are like terms, while 7 is a constant and does not have a like term in the expression.
Combine Like Terms: Combine the like terms 7n and −6n. To combine like terms, we add or subtract their coefficients. In this case, we subtract the coefficients of n: 7n−6n=(7−6)n=1n=n
Rewrite Expression: Rewrite the expression with the combined like terms.Now that we have combined the like terms, we can rewrite the expression as:n+7
