Can you help me simplify this expression 16d + 20c + 5d -7 - 8c - 7d + 3?

12c + 14d - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

16d + 20c + 5d -7 - 8c - 7d + 3

Simplify the expression

To solve, we need to first take in mind the fact that there are different like terms within this expression. Like terms are numbers or values that end in different symbols, such as variables or exponents. Since we are filled with variables such as c and d. We can do as followed :

Combine the "d" like terms :

16d + 5d - 7d

21d - 7d

14d

Combine the "c" like terms :

20c - 8c

12c

Combine the constants :

-7 + 3

-4

Now add all of the values together to get the final expression.

12c + 14d - 4

14d + 12c + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Add the same variables; if you see d, or c variable add or subtract them like this:

16d + 5d - 7d = 14d

20c - 8c = 12c

3 is left alone b/c there’s no any other number to add/subtract for 3.

also I know whether to add or subtract b/c the addition or subtraction sign would be before the number: ex; - 2, - 3x, + 5d, + 5

2) your equation should look like this

14d + 12c + 3

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
