Absolutely, let's simplify the given expression step-by-step:
We start with the expression:
[tex]\[ 7v + 2 + 12 + 2v + 14x \][/tex]
First, let's combine the like terms. We'll start with the terms that contain [tex]\( v \)[/tex]:
1. Combine [tex]\( 7v \)[/tex] and [tex]\( 2v \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 7v + 2v = 9v \][/tex]
Next, let's combine the constant terms:
2. Combine [tex]\( 2 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( 12 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 2 + 12 = 14 \][/tex]
Finally, we note that the term [tex]\( 14x \)[/tex] does not have any like terms to combine with:
So, now we have:
[tex]\[ 9v + 14x + 14 \][/tex]
Thus, the simplified expression is:
[tex]\[ 9v + 14x + 14 \][/tex]
