Help please. How exactly do you simplify the first expression to the second one?
Answer:
An algebraic expression is a mathematical phrase where variables and constants are combined using the operational (+, -, × & ÷) symbols. For example, 10x + 63 and 5x – 3 are examples of algebraic expressions.
In this article, we shall learn a few tricks on how to simplify any algebraic expression.
How to Simplify Expressions?
Simplification of an algebraic expression can be defined as the process of writing an expression in the most efficient and compact form without affecting the value of the original expression.
The process entails collecting like terms, which implies adding or subtracting terms in an expression.
Let’s remind ourselves of some of the important terms used when simplifying an expression:
A variable is a letter whose value is unknown in an algebraic expression.
The coefficient is a numerical value used together with a variable.
A constant is a term that has a definite value.
Like terms are variables with the same letter and power. Like terms can sometimes contain different coefficients. For example, 6x2and 5x2 are like terms because they have a variable with a similar exponent. Similarly, 7yx and 5xz are unlike terms because each term has different variables.
To simplify any algebraic expression, the following are the basic rules and steps:
Remove any grouping symbol such as brackets and parentheses by multiplying factors.
Use the exponent rule to remove grouping if the terms are containing exponents.
Combine the like terms by addition or subtraction
Combine the constants
Example 1
Simplify 3x2 + 5x2
Solution
Since both terms in the expression are have same exponents, we combine them;
3x2 + 5x2 = (3 + 5) x2 = 8x2
Example 2
Simplify the expression: 2 + 2x [2(3x+2) +2)]
Solution
First work out any terms within brackets by multiplying them out;
= 2 + 2x [6x + 4 +2] = 2 + 2x [6x + 6]
Now eliminate the parentheses by multiplying any number outside it;
2 + 2x [6x + 6] = 2 + 12x 2 + 12x
This expression can be simplified by dividing each term by 2 as;
12x 2/2 + 12x/2 + 2/2 = 6 x 2 + 6x + 1
Example 3
Simplify 3x + 2(x – 4)
Solution
In this case, it is impossible to combine terms when they are still in parentheses or any grouping sign. Therefore, eliminate the parenthesis by multiplying any factor outside the grouping by all terms inside it.
Hence, 3x + 2(x – 4) = 3x + 2x – 8
= 5x – 8
When a minus sign is in front of a grouping, it normally affects all the operators inside the parentheses. This means that a minus sign in front of a group will change the addition operation to subtraction and vice versa.
Example 4
Simplify 3x – (2 – x)
Solution
3x – (2 – x) = 3x + (–1) [2 + (–x)]
= 3x + (–1) (2) + (–1) (–x)
= 3x – 2 + x
= 4x – 2
However, if there is only a plus sign comes before the grouping, then the parentheses are simply erased.
For example, to simplify 3x + (2 – x), the brackets are eliminated as shown below:
3x + (2 – x) = 3x + 2 – x
Example 5
Simplify 5(3x-1) + x((2x)/ (2)) + 8 – 3x
Solution
15x – 5 + x(x) + 8 – 3x
15x – 5 + x2 + 8 – 3x.
Now combine the like terms by adding and subtracting the terms;
x2 + (15x – 3x) + (8 – 5)
x2 + 12x + 3
Example 6
Simplify x (4 – x) – x (3 – x)
Solution
x (4 – x) – x (3 – x)
4x – x2 – x (3 – x)
4x – x2 – (3x – x2)
4x – x2 – 3x + x2 = x
Practice Questions
Simplify each of the following expressions:
2st + 3t – s + 5t + 4s
2a – 4b +3ab -5a +2b
x (2x + 3y -4) – x 2 + 4xy – 12
4(2x+1) – 3x
4(p – 5) +3(p +1)
[2x 3y2]3
6(p +3q) – (7 +4q)
4rs -2s – 3(rs +1) – 2s
[ (3 – x) (x + 2) + (-x + 4) (7x + 2) – (x – y) (2x – y)] – 3x2 – 7x + 5

Writing Prompt: What would Matthew Green say about the Zamora's’ situation?
Answer:
The Zamoras are a fictional family with an unusual situation. The mother is struggling with her son's addiction, and the father has been unemployed for months. They live in a poor city that is facing gang violence and the school system is barely functioning.
Maybe we should turn to Matthew Green for some answers on how to save the Zamora’s from their financial troubles.
When conjugating verbs, some verbs change not only the ending but also the stem. There are 3 types of stem-change verbs: o--ue, e--ie, e--i
dormir = to sleep (it is an "-ir" verb, but also the "o" in the stem changes to "ue")
querer = to want (it is an "-er" verb, but also the "e" in the stem changes to "ie")
pedir = to ask for (it is an "-ir" verb, but also the "e" in the stem changes to "i")
Now you need to know 2 things when you conjugate these verbs:
1. endings (-ar, -er, -ir)
2. stem changes (o--ue, e--ie, e--i)
Let's try to conjugate verbs than change from e to ie:
comenzar (to begin), divertirse (to enjoy oneself; to have fun), empezar (to begin), entender (to understand), perder (to lose), preferir (to prefer), querer (to want), tener (to have) (tener is also irregular in the "yo" form - yo tengo)
entender = to understand (-er endings and e--ie)
Yo entiendo (I understand) Nosotros entendemos (we understand) (no change "ie" in nosotros)
Tu entiendes (you understand)
usted entiende (you understand) ustedes entienden (you guys understand)
el entiende (he understands) ellos entienden (they understand)
ella entiende (she understands)
Now it is your turn:
Conjugate "querer= to want" (-er endings and e--ie)
Yo__________ Nosotros __________
Tu_________
usted___________ Ustedes ____________
el ___________ ellos ____________
ella _____________
Answer:
Yo: quiero
Nosotros: queremos
Tu: quieres
Usted: quiere
Ustedes: quieren
El: quiere
Ellos: quieren
Ella: quiere

Recuerdo cuando viajamos en crucero por el Caribe. ¡Qué divertido fue el viaje!
Primero viajamos hacia Miami por avión, desde Pittsburgh, la ciudad donde vivimos. Salimos desde Pittsburgh a las cinco de la mañana para llegar a la Florida y tener suficiente tiempo para pasear y ver la ciudad de Miami. Finalmente salimos en el crucero por el mar, desde Miami.
Abordamos el crucero a las cinco, hora de cenar. Cenamos langosta, camarones, vegetales, helado y torta de chocolate. Pasé unas horas al lado de la piscina y luego me dormí. El viaje duró siete días por el mar caribe que está en el Océano Atlántico. Visitamos las islas de Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, St. Croix y Antigua. Comimos muchos mariscos, nadamos, hicimos ejercicio y fuimos de compras en cada isla que visitamos. Fue un viaje magnifico. Descansé y regresé a mi casa completamente relajado.
¿Qué hicieron antes de salir en crucero?
