Full solution

Q. Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression.\newline5c+2+d1=5c+2+d-1=
  1. Identify like terms: Identify the like terms in the expression 5c+2+d15c+2+d-1. The like terms are constants 22 and 1-1.
  2. Combine constants: Combine the constants 22 and 1-1 to get a single constant term. 21=12 - 1 = 1
  3. Write new expression: Write the expression with the combined constant term.\newlineThe new expression is 5c+d+15c + d + 1.
  4. Check expression: Check the expression to ensure all like terms have been combined and no terms have been altered or omitted.\newlineThe terms 5c5c and dd do not have like terms, so they remain unchanged. The constants have been correctly combined to 11.
