Question 155762: I am retunning to school after 15 years and I am having problems with Algebra. Please help me to understand how to simplify equations.
4x+7-15x+50-11+12x

4x+7-15x+50-11+12x
.
Start by grouping like-terms:
(4x-15x+12x)+(50-11+7)
.
Now, combine terms inside each parentheses:
(-11x+12x)+(39+7)
(x)+(46)
x + 46 (this is what they're looking for)
