Grantham University WK2 Simplifying Expressions & Order of Operations Paper

This week we learned about variables and properties of expressions. The same Order of Operations applies to variables as it does with numbers. In order to move on to solving, you first must be able to combine like terms, which is known as simplifying.

Simplify the following problems:

1.

2.

Clearly label each problem
