Question

Algebra help please 100% correct only

Answer 1

We have the expression 2x + 3y + 2(x - y) - 3x.
And we need to simplify it.

We can start with distributive property. This states that a(b + c) = ab + ac

2x + 3y + 2(x - y) - 3x becomes 2x + 3y + 2x - 2y - 3x

Then combine like terms. This means if we have two terms that have the same variable and exponent, we can combine them. Which is adding or subtracting.

2x + 3y + 2x - 2y - 3x becomes x + y

So, the answer to this question x + y.

Answer 2

2x + 3y + 2(x - y) - 3x


First you apply the distributive property:

2x +3y + 2(x) - 2(y) - 3x
2x + 3y +2x - 2y - 3x

The you combine like terms:

2x + 2x - 3x +3y - 2y
4x - 3x + y
x (x could also be 1x) + y (y could also be 1y)

The answer is x + y or 1x + 1y
