Question

Simplify by combining like terms 9x-7y-3x-5y

Answer 1

9x-7y-3x-5y

= 6x-12y

Explanation:

9x and -3x are like terms as they both are "x" values

-7y and -5y are like terms as they both are "y" values

To receive the x value you subtract 3x from 9x giving you 6x

To receive the y value you subtract -5y from -7y giving you -12y

Hope that helps (:
