Question

Combine like terms

`y + 4 + 3(y + 2)`

`5x + 3(y + 4x)`
​

Answer 1

17x+7y+10

Explanation:

y+4+3(y+2)

you have to multiply 3 by the numbers/variables in the parenthesis

y+4+3y+5

Do the same to the other equation

5x+3(y+4x)

5x+3y+12x

Set an equation that will let you add their like terms.

y+4+3y+5+5x+3y+12x

I'm going to add like terms with the y

y+3y+3y = 7y

Now like terms with x

5x+12x = 17x

Now put them all as a single equation

17x+7y+10
