Q. Click and drag like terms onto each other to simplify fully.3y−7+2x+2y−1+6x
Identify Like Terms: Identify like terms in the expression. Like terms are terms that contain the same variable raised to the same power.In this expression, the like terms are:- 3y and 2y, which are both 'y' terms.- 2x and 6x, which are both 'x' terms.- −7 and −1, which are both constant terms.
Combine 'y' Terms: Combine the 'y' terms by adding their coefficients. 3y+2y=5y
Combine 'x' Terms: Combine the 'x' terms by adding their coefficients. 2x+6x=8x
Combine Constant Terms: Combine the constant terms by adding their values.−7+(−1)=−8
Write Simplified Expression: Write the simplified expression by combining the results from the previous steps.The simplified expression is 5y+8x−8.
