You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"9u%2B6v-10u\"$ Start with the given expression\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%289u-10u%29%2B%286v%29\"$ Group like terms\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"-u%2B6v\"$ Combine like terms by adding the coefficients (ie $\"9u-10u=%289-10%29u=-1u=-u\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "---------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So $\"9u%2B6v-10u\"$ simplifies to $\"-u%2B6v\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In other words, $\"9u%2B6v-10u=-u%2B6v\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
