# Simplification of Expressions involving Addition and Subtraction

• Simplification means making things easier.
• We can simplify the expressions having various operations.
• Here, we will learn to simplify the expressions having two operations i.e., addition and subtraction.

For example:

Simplify: $$8x+16y-2z+3x-7y+5z$$

First, arrange the like terms together.

$$8x+3x+16y-7y-2z+5z$$

Now, take the common variables out.

$$=x(8+3)+y(16-7)+z(-2+5)$$

$$=x(11)+y(9)+z(3)$$

$$=11x+9y+3z$$

#### Simplify the expression: $$10x+7y-3a+2a+8x-3y+10$$

A $$x+y-a$$

B $$4x+18y-a$$

C $$18x+4y-a+10$$

D $$x+y+2a$$

Given expression:

$$10x+7y-3a+2a+8x-3y+10$$

First, arrange the like terms together and take the common variables out.

Thus, $$10x+7y-3a+2a+8x-3y+10$$

$$= 10x+8x+7y-3y-3a+2a+10$$

$$=x(10+8)+y (7-3) + a (-3+2)+10$$

$$=x(18) + y (4)+a(-1)+10$$

$$=18x+4y-a+10$$

Hence, option (C) is correct.

# Simplification of Expressions involving Addition and Multiplication

• Here, we will learn to simplify the expressions involving addition and multiplication.

For example:

Simplify: $$2×a×b×c\;+\;5×a×b×c\;+\;7×a×a×a$$

We will take the common variables out.

$$2×a×b×c\;+\;5×a×b×c\;+\;7×a×a×a$$

$$= 2abc\;+\; 5abc \; +\; 7a^3$$

$$=abc (2+5)+7a^3$$

$$=abc (7)+7a^3$$

$$=7abc+7a^3$$

#### Simplify the expression: $$3×e×e×f\;+\;5×f×f×e\; +\; 8×e×f×e\;+\; 5×e×f×f$$

A $$11e^2f+10f^2e$$

D $$2e^2f$$

×

Given expression:

$$3×e×e×f\;+\;5×f×f×e\; +\; 8×e×f×e\;+\; 5×e×f×f$$

First, arrange the like terms together. Next, count the number of times each variable is multiplied by itself and write it as the power of that variable and then perform the operation.

Thus, $$3×e×e×f\;+\;5×f×f×e\; +\; 8×e×f×e\;+\; 5×e×f×f$$

$$=3×e×e×f+8×e×e×f+5×f×f×e+5×e×f×f$$

$$=3e^2f+8e^2f+5f^2e+5f^2e$$

$$=e^2f(3+8)+f^2e(5+5)$$

$$=e^2f(11)+f^2e(10)$$

$$=11e^2f+10f^2e$$

Hence, option (A) is correct.
