-8 (1 + x) + 7x simplify the expression

Sagot :

To simplify the expression

[tex]-8(1+x)+7x[/tex]

first we have to deal with the parenthesis, so we have that:

[tex]-8(1+x)\text{ = -8 -8x}[/tex]

Then, we add similar terms:

[tex]-8-8x+7x\text{ = -8-x}[/tex]

We can simplify even further if we take out the minus sign:

[tex]-8-x\text{ = -(x+8)}[/tex]
