Question

(56x + 61y) - (5x - 14y)

Answer 1

61x-47y

Explanation:

you need to simplify the equation. To do this first combine the x's

56+5=61

even though it may be a subtraction problem you still add the x's and y's

Then add the y's

61+-14=47

adding a negative number to a positive one is the same as subtracting that number.

Then you put the equation back together:

61x-47y
