Question

Add (2xy² + 15x − 6) + (3xy² − y + 5).

Answer 1

`\begin{equation*} 5xy^2+15x-y-1 \end{equation*}`

Explanation:

Given the sum:

`\left(2xy^2+15x−6\right)+(3xy^2−y+5)`

First, remove the brackets:

`=2xy^2+15x-6+3xy^2-y+5`

Next, rearrange to bring the like terms together:

`=2xy^2+3xy^2+15x-y-6+5`

Combine like terms:

`=5xy^2+15x-y-1`

The result of the sum is:

`\begin{equation*} 5xy^2+15x-y-1 \end{equation*}`
