@superstartpolarbear - You need to use the distributive property first to remove the parentheses. Multiply -3 by 2m to get -6m, and -3 by 6 to get -18. Then you wil have 7m-6m-18+12, then you can combine like terms to simplify. Good luck!
thank you!!! my teacher gave me this as a homework assignment and we did it last week but i forgot how to do it! nice refresher! yh! its a little more tough but i like algebra! i'm only in 8th grade 13 years old and already taking algebra! i took higher math in 6th and 7th grade. =D
@nodoubtitsmelissa - When you combine like terms using addition or subtraction, it is similar to saying "What is 5 apples plus 8 apples?" The answer is 13 apples, not 13 apples "squared." Only when we multply terms together do we add the exponents. For example, 3x times 3x is 9x squared.
wait, so, when she did the smaller example at the end, with the 6x+3x wouldnt it b 9xsqaured? Can someone explain this to me? and btw, video was VERY HELPFUL! MORE VIDEOS PLZ!
Excellent. But could I suggest putting a few problems on board at one time--ie like terms, or distributive props. which would give us a chance to try and solve before you do. It would help some of us that need practice after your explaination--which is more through than other vids on here. Others only take a minute or two to explain which is not helpful.
very good thank you so much its easier to understand the concept of combining like terms if you dont mind I would be very great ful if you can make a video on simpllifying each expression again thank you so much honey very good job breaking it down . :) have a good day

The answer to the question above is, it is simplified to 14x+5
