To solve the expression, we need to analyze and simplify the terms. Let’s break it down:
- Identify terms: The expression contains variables and coefficients such as a, b, j, k, and numbers like 2, 3, 4, and 5.
- Group similar terms: Begin by rearranging the terms based on their variables. For example, we can group all the ‘a’s together, all ‘b’s together, and so on.
- Simplify: Combine the like terms. This means adding or subtracting coefficients of the same variable. For instance, if we have a terms like ‘2a’ and ‘3a’, we would combine them to get ‘5a’.
- Final Expression: After grouping and simplifying all terms, write down the final simplified form. It can look like a certain combination of a, b, j, and k based on your calculations.
Once you follow these steps and ensure that you’ve accurately combined like terms, you’ll have a clearer understanding of the expression you started with.
