Answer :
To simplify the expression
[tex]$$
5v + 4s - 2v,
$$[/tex]
we first identify the like terms.
1. The terms involving [tex]$v$[/tex] are [tex]$5v$[/tex] and [tex]$-2v$[/tex]. We can combine them by subtracting the coefficients:
[tex]$$
5v - 2v = (5-2)v = 3v.
$$[/tex]
2. The term [tex]$4s$[/tex] does not have any like term, so it remains unchanged.
Thus, the simplified expression is:
[tex]$$
3v + 4s.
$$[/tex]
[tex]$$
5v + 4s - 2v,
