Solution

Steps

1) Identify all like terms together.

2) sum all like terms

a) -6y + 5x +7y

The like terms here are -6y and 7y

-6y + 7y = y

Therefore, we will have

-6y + 7y +5x

= y + 5x

b) x-10 +9x-3

The like terms are x and +9x, then -10 and -3

Hence,

x +9x -10-3

= 10x -13

c) 11x -12x+12

The like terms here are 11x and -12x

Hence,

11x-12x+12

= -x +12

= 12-x

d) 8y-8x+y-11x

The like terms here are 8y and y, then -8x and -11x

Hence,

8y +y -8x+(-11x)

= 9y -19x-
