Exercise 60 Page 320

Remember, only like terms can be combined.

17x

Practice makes perfect

The first step in simplifying this expression is to identify which, if any, terms can be combined. Remember, only like terms — constant terms or terms with the same variable — can be combined. 5x + 12x In this case, we have only two x-terms. Only the x-terms can be combined, so to simplify the expression we will combine these like terms.

5x + 12x

Add terms

17x
