Question

How do I simplify the expression 4y-y​

Answer 1

5y

Explanation:

You simply add the y to 4y

Answer 2

3y

Explanation:

You simplify by subtracting the numbers in the front of the variables. Granted, it would look like there is no number in front of the second y, however, it is implied that there is a 1 in front of it. Subtract the numericals:

4y - 1y = 3y

3y is your answer.
