What is the simplified form of the following expression?

\[ 6c^2 + 2.5d - d + 2c^2 - 3d \]

for this you have to combine like terms, so the answer is: 8c^2-1.5d

To simplify an expression, we need to gather the like terms .
Like terms are the ones having the same variable raised to the same power
In the given expression:
6c² + 2.5d - d + 2c² - 3d
We have terms having c² and terms having d.
Therefore, we would gather them as follows:
6c² + 2.5d - d + 2c² - 3d
(6+2)c² + (2.5-1-3)d
8c² - 1.5d ......................> This is the simplest form
Hope this helps :)

The simplified form of the expression 6 c 2 + 2.5 d − d + 2 c 2 − 3 d is 8 c 2 − 1.5 d . We achieved this by combining like terms for both c 2 and d .
