Question

Simplify by combining like terms

Answer 1

the answer is 10x + 8 since the -12y and 12y cancel each other out

Answer 2

Hi!

Let's simplify by combining like terms:

`\implies\boldsymbol{10x-12y+8+12y}`

The like terms here are the y's, so we combine them:

`\implies\boldsymbol{10x-12y+12y+8}`

Notice how the -12y and 12y cancel out:

`\implies\boldsymbol{10x+8}`

Voila! There's our solution.

Have a nice day!

I hope that helped & made sense.
