Question

Simplify by combining like terms 8x^2+7xy+5y^2+8x^2-xy+y^2

Answer 1

By combining the like terms; the simplified answer in the correct way is 16x^2+6xy+6y^2

Answer 2

How to get answer:

- Find how many terms are in the algebraic equation. Counting I got 6 terms.

There are 2 xy's and 2 x's and 2y's

- Next combine all like terms

`8x^(2) + 8x^(2) = 16x^(2)`

7xy+-xy=6xy

`5y^(2) + y^(2)`=
`6y^(2)`

- Next Simplify

`16x^(2)+6xy+6y^(2)`
