Math Problem Statement

(x1)+(x+1)\left(x-1\right)+\left(x+1\right)

Solution

The expression you provided is:

(x1)+(x+1)\left(x - 1\right) + \left(x + 1\right)

Now, let's simplify it step by step:

  1. Combine the like terms: (x1)+(x+1)=x+x1+1(x - 1) + (x + 1) = x + x - 1 + 1

  2. Simplify further by canceling out 1-1 and +1+1: x+x=2xx + x = 2x

Thus, the simplified expression is:

2x2x

Would you like any additional details on the steps?

Here are 5 related questions to explore further:

  1. What happens if we add constants to this expression, like (2x1)+(3x+1)\left(2x - 1\right) + \left(3x + 1\right)?
  2. How do we simplify more complex algebraic expressions with different variables?
  3. Can this expression be used in a system of equations? How would we solve that?
  4. What if we include exponents, such as (x21)+(x2+1)\left(x^2 - 1\right) + \left(x^2 + 1\right)?
  5. How does this simplify if xx is given a specific value?

Tip: Always combine like terms (such as variables or constants) first to simplify expressions quickly.
