Combine like terms:
7x + 3x + 4y - X+.5y

Answer 1

9x + 4.5y if .5y is a decimal point, 9x + 9y if the dot is a typo

Explanation:

10x + 4y - x + 0.5y

10x - x + 4y + 0.5y

9x + 4.5y

If the dot is a typo,

7x + 3y + 4x - x + 5y

10x + 4y - x + 5y

10x - x + 4y + 5y

9x + 9y

7x + 3x + 4y - x + 5y

7x + 3x - x + 4y + 5y
