Question

combine any like terms in the expression. if there are no like terms, rewrite the expression.
$50d + 36d + 16d - 37d - 38d$

Explanation:

Step1: Group like terms

$(50d + 36d + 16d) - (37d + 38d)$

Step2: Sum positive coefficients

$50 + 36 + 16 = 102$, so $102d$

Step3: Sum negative coefficients

$37 + 38 = 75$, so $75d$

Step4: Subtract the two results

$102d - 75d$

Step5: Calculate final coefficient

$102 - 75 = 27$, so $27d$

Answer:

$27d$
