Question

Simplify the following expression.
13x+11y-3x+3y+9

Answer 1

13x + 11y - 3x + 3y + 9

This problem consists of combining alike parts of the equation. This means 13x and - 3x go together, 11y and 3y go together, and 9 has no other alike parts.

This shows that the answer (when combining like terms) is:

10x + 14y + 9

Answer 2

10x+14y+9

Explanation:

13x+11y-3x+3y+9

10x+11y+3y+9

10x+14y+9
