Answer:

5 (y + x) or c: 5x+y

Explanation:

Simplify the following:

9 x - 3 y - 5 x + 7 y + x + y

Grouping like terms, 9 x - 3 y - 5 x + 7 y + x + y = (-3 y + 7 y + y) + (9 x - 5 x + x):

(-3 y + 7 y + y) + (9 x - 5 x + x)

-3 y + 7 y + y = 5 y:

5 y + (9 x - 5 x + x)

9 x - 5 x + x = 5 x:

5 y + 5 x

Factor 5 out of 5 y + 5 x:

Answer: 5 (y + x)
