Question

How do you simplify `n+5n`?

Answer 1

The answer is `6n`.

Explanation:

`n + 5n`

All you have to do is combine the terms, since they are like terms.

There is actually a `1` in front of the first term. But since it's a 1, we don't usually write it.

`1n + 5n`

Just add `1+5` and then put `n`.

`1n + 5n = 6n`

So, `n + 5n = 6n`.
