Q. Click and drag like terms onto each other to simplify fully.−5y2+1+3y2−5x+3y2−5y3+7y3
Combine like terms squares of y: Identify and combine the like terms that are the squares of y.We have −5y2, 3y2, and 3y2. Combining these gives us:−5y2+3y2+3y2=(−5+3+3)y2=1y2
Combine like terms cubes of y: Identify and combine the like terms that are the cubes of y.We have −5y3 and 7y3. Combining these gives us:−5y3+7y3=(−5+7)y3=2y3
Combine constant terms: Identify and combine the constant terms.We only have one constant term, which is 1. So, it remains as it is.
Combine terms with x: Identify and combine the terms with x.We only have one term with x, which is −5x. So, it remains as it is.
Write simplified expression: Write down the simplified expression with all the combined like terms.The simplified expression is:y2−5x+2y3+1
