Example Question #1053 : Numbers And Operations
Simplify the below:
In order to simplify:
We must gather the things that are the alike together.
Since we have an "a" and then we subtract an "a" there are no more a's left, so we should not have any a's in our answer.
Since we have a "b" added to another "b", we can see that we get when we add those together.
So the final answer becomes .

Elise had 12 hair clips, but she always took them out throughout the day and would often forget where they were. After three weeks, she realized she only had 5 hair clips left. How many did she lose?
If Elise started with 12 hair clips and ended with only 5, she lost 7. If you need to visualize it, you can draw 12 marks and cross out 5. Count the ones that are left.
