Answer:

There are four (4) different terms

Explanation:

Given;

2x + 3xy - (x + y) + 2

The terms are simplified as follows;

=2x + 3xy - (x + y) + 2

= 2x + 3xy - x - y + 2

collect like terms;

= 2x - x - y + 3xy + 2

= x - y + 3xy + 2

Thus, there are four (4) different terms in the simplified expression.
