Simplify the expression.

(6x + 1/2) + (5x - 3 1/2)

(11x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the two parenthesis are adding together, we can simply combine the like terms 6x and 5x to get 11x.

Then, combine 1/2 + a - 3 1/2, which is equal to - 3.

(Oh, i didn't see the minus sorry! It's fixed now!)

11x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(6x + 1/2) + (5x - 3 1/2) Add like terms

6x + 5x = 11x

1/2 - 3 - 1/2 = - 3

11x - 3
