Full solution

Q. 2xy+4xy12xy 2 x y+4 x y-\frac{1}{2} x y
  1. Combine like terms: We are given the expression 2xy+4xy(12)xy2xy + 4xy - \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)xy. The first step is to combine like terms, which in this case are all the terms since they all contain the variable product xyxy.
  2. Add coefficients: To combine the terms, we add the coefficients of xyxy together. The coefficients are 22, 44, and (12)-(\frac{1}{2}).\newlineCalculation: 2+4(12)=6(12)=60.5=5.52 + 4 - (\frac{1}{2}) = 6 - (\frac{1}{2}) = 6 - 0.5 = 5.5
  3. Write simplified expression: Now that we have the combined coefficient, we can write the simplified expression as 5.5xy5.5xy.
