Chapter 1: Problem 49

Simplify each algebraic expression. $$11 a-3 a$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The simplified form of the expression \(11 a - 3 a\) is \(8 a\).

Step by step solution

01

Identify like terms

In the given algebraic expression \(11 a-3 a\), 'a' is the common variable in both terms. Therefore, both \(11 a\) and \(-3 a\) are regarded as like terms.
02

Combine like terms

Like terms can be combined by adding or subtracting the coefficients. Here, subtract the coefficient of \(-3 a\) from the coefficient of \(11 a\). This means \(11 - 3 = 8\). So, the expression simplifies to \(8 a\).
