In algebra, simplifying means to write an expression in its most basic form by combining like terms and removing unnecessary parentheses or symbols.
To simplify an expression with multiple variables, you must first combine like terms by adding or subtracting coefficients. Then, you can use the distributive property to factor out any common factors.
The first step is to combine like terms, which in this case would be the two terms with the variable "m." This would result in the expression becoming 4m+2k.
Yes, the expression can be simplified further by factoring out a common factor. In this case, the common factor is "2," which would result in the simplified expression of 2(2m+k).
The final simplified form of 3m+2k+m is 2(2m+k), which is equivalent to 4m+2k.
