When solving this problem we need to remember our order of operations, or PEMDAS.
PEMDAS stands for parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, and addition/subtraction. When you have a problem with several different operations, you need to solve the problem in this order and you work from left to right for multiplication/division and addition/subtraction.
Parentheses: We are not able to add a variable to a number, so we move to the next step.
Multiplication: We can distribute (or multiply) the 
.
Addition/Subtraction: Remember, we can't add a variable to a number, so the 
is left alone.

This problem is just a matter of grouping together like terms. Remember that terms like 
are treated as though they were their own, different variable:
The only part that might be a little hard is:
If you are confused, think of your number line. This is like "going back" (more negative) from 15. Therefore, you ranswer will be:

You need to begin by distributing the minus sign through the whole group 
. This gives you:
Simplifying the double negative, you get:
Now, you can move the like terms next to each other:
Finally, simplify:

Simplify the following expression:
When adding and subtracting variable, you can only combine like variables.
That means all of the 
variables are solved separately from the 
variables.
Then you just add and subtract the constants normally so

When adding variables together, you must first make sure you are combining the same variable. So, in this case
we can see that both terms contain the variable a. Therefore, we can combine them.
Now, when we combine them, we can think of the variables as objects. So, we can say were are combining an apple and 4 apples together. So,
We can simplify our problem the same way.

In order to answer this question, we need to write the given expression is standard form.
First, we will need to use the distributive property, which tells us to multiply each component inside the parenthesis by the value outside the parenthesis. In this case we will multiply by the
