Question

Which facts could be applied to simplify this expression check all that apply 5x+3y+(-x)+6z

Answer 1

I think polynomial would work

Answer 2

The simplified form of the given expression
`\Rightarrow (5-1)x+3y+6z` is
`4x+3y+6z`

Explanation:

Consider the given expression,
`5x+3y+(-x)+6z`

We have to simplify the expression,

We can apply

`ax-bx=(a-b)x` , also,

`+(-bx)=-bx`

Thus, applying the above facts, the given expression becomes,

`\Rightarrow 5x+3y-x+6z`

`\Rightarrow (5-1)x+3y+6z`

`\Rightarrow 4x+3y+6z`

Thus, the simplified form of the given expression
`\Rightarrow (5-1)x+3y+6z` is
`4x+3y+6z` using the two facts stated above.
