Question

combine any like terms in the expression. if there are no like terms, rewrite the expression.
$44gh + 38gh + 33gh - 5gh - 11gh$

Explanation:

Step1: Identify like terms

All terms have the variable part $gh$, so they are like terms. We can factor out $gh$:
$gh(44 + 38 + 33 - 5 - 11)$

Step2: Calculate the coefficient sum

First add the positive numbers: $44 + 38 = 82$, $82 + 33 = 115$
Then subtract the negative values: $115 - 5 = 110$, $110 - 11 = 99$

Answer:

$99gh$
