Simplify each expression:

(H+5) + 4

38 + (V+12)

help

Answer 1

H+9

50+V

Answer 2

Other than the stuff in the Brackets are calculated first. You should really develop your math skills or you wont understand algebra when you have to take it. It could be that you have to make it relate to you. Everybody including animals have math and logic incorporated in them. You need to apply yours to understanding it in symbolic expression.

Feel free to ask a teacher to help you with this.

Answer 3

h5+4

38+v12

Answer 4

(h + 5) + 4

= h + 9

38 + (v + 12)

= 50 + v

Answer 5

H is the variable so it stays as is. Therefore, you just add the 5 to the 4 equaling:  H + 9

The same goes for the V. Simply add 38 to 12 which equals:  50 + V

Goodluck! :)
