Question

Simplify the expression
7y+3x+3-2y+6

Answer 1

5y + 3x + 9

Explanation:

Whenever something is multiplied by the same variable, you can combine the coefficients. In this case, first you'd move the values with the same variable next to each other, for simplicity:

7y-2y+3x+3+6

Then, combine like terms.

5y+3x+3+6

5y+3x+9
