Q. Click and drag like terms onto each other to simplify fully.−2y+2x+6x−4−3−7y
Identify Like Terms: Identify like terms in the expression −2y+2x+6x−4−3−7y. Like terms are terms that contain the same variable raised to the same power. Here, 2x and 6x are like terms, as are −2y and −7y. The constants −4 and −3 are also like terms.
Combine Like Terms 2x and 6x: Combine the like terms 2x and 6x.2x+6x=8x
Combine Like Terms −2y and −7y: Combine the like terms −2y and −7y.−2y−7y=−9y
Combine Constants −4 and −3: Combine the constants −4 and −3.−4−3=−7
Write Simplified Expression: Write the simplified expression by combining the results from the previous steps.The simplified expression is 8x−9y−7.
