Q. Click and drag like terms onto each other to simplify fully.1−1+5y−4
Identify Like Terms: First, we identify like terms in the expression. The like terms are the constants 1, −1, and −4. The term 5y is not like any other term because it contains a variable.
Combine Like Terms: Next, we combine the like terms by adding or subtracting them. We have 1−1 which equals 0, and we also have −4 which is another constant.
Add and Subtract: Now, we add the result of 1−1 to −4. Since 1−1 is 0, we are left with just −4.
Combine Constant and Variable Terms: Finally, we combine the constant term −4 with the variable term 5y. Since they are not like terms, we simply write them next to each other in the expression.
