Question

(25 POINTS!) Identify the like terms, explain how you know they are

like terms, and simplify the expressions:

10y + 3x + 10 + x -2y
3x – y + 4x + 6 – 2y

Factor 6a + 3

Answer 1

Explanation:

Like terms: 10y, -2y, 3x, and x

These are all like terms since they have a similar variable

Simplifying the expressions:

10y + 3x + 10 + x -2y = [(10y + -2y) + (3x + x)] + 10

= 8y + 4x + 10

Like terms: 3x, 4x, y, and -2y

Same as first explanation, terms have a similar variable

3x - y + 4x + 6 - 2y = (3x + 4x) + (-2y - y) + 6

= -3y + 7x + 6

Hope I helped :)
