Question

Carmen simplifies the expression (4y+8x+6)+25+(4x+6y+7). The coefficient of the variable y in her simplified answer is

Answer 1

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Original expression:

`(4y+8x+6)+25+(4x+6y+7)`

Let's simplify it step-by-step:

`4y+8x+6+25+4x+6y+7` (removing the parentheses)

`4y+12x+6+25+6y+7` (adding together similar terms in x)

`10y+12x+6+25+7` (adding together similar terms in y)

`10y+12x+38` (adding together similar terms with no variable)

So, from the final expression, we see that the coefficient for y is 10.
