whats the simplest form of— 3х + 7 – 2x +11 — x

Sagot :

The given expression is

[tex]-3x+7-2x+11-x[/tex]

We have to reduce like terms. -3x, -2x, and -x are like terms. 7 and 11 are like terms.

[tex]-3x-2x-x+7+11=-6x+18[/tex]

Then, we factor out the greatest common factor, observe that 6 is the greatest common factor

[tex]6(-x+3)[/tex]

Hence, the simplest form is 6(-x + 3).
