Question

which expression is equivalent to the expression below?
$7v - 5w + v + v + v$
answer
$\circ$ $5v$ $\circ$ $4v - 5w$
$\circ$ $-v$ $\circ$ $10v - 5w$
submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like terms (v terms)

$7v + v + v + v = (7+1+1+1)v = 10v$

Step2: Keep the non-like term

$-5w$ remains unchanged

Step3: Combine simplified terms

$10v - 5w$

Answer:

$\boldsymbol{10v - 5w}$ (corresponding to the option: $\boldsymbol{\bigcirc\ 10v - 5w}$)
