Exercise 10 Page 223

15w+5

Practice makes perfect

We want to simplify the given expression. To do it, we will use the Distributive Property to factor out w from the variable terms.

\(2w+4+13w+1\)
\(2w+13w+4+1\)
\((2+13)w+4+1\)
\(15w+5\)

Since $15w$ and $5$ are not like terms, the expression cannot be simplified further.
