Question

Simplify 6(x + y) + (x - y). 6x 7x 7x + 6y 7x + 5y

Answer 1

Answer: ⇒ 7x+5y

Explanation:

distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

6(x+y)+x-y

expand

6(x+y)=6x+6y

=6x+6y+x-y

simplify by equation

6x+6y+x-y=7x+5y

=7x+5y

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Answer 2

6(x + y) + (x - y)

use distributive property

= 6x + 6y + x - y

combine like terms

= (6x + x) + (6y - y)

= 7x + 6y
