Question

Simplify (3xy³ + 8x²y - 3xy) + (7xy³ - 9x²y + 6xy).

O4xy³ - x²y - 3xy
O4xy³ - x²y + 3xy
O 10xy³ + x²y - 3xy
O 10xy³x²y + 3xy

Answer 1

Answer: 10xy³ - x²y + 3xy

Explanation:

To simplify the expression (3xy³ + 8x²y - 3xy) + (7xy³ - 9x²y + 6xy), we can combine like terms.

Adding the corresponding terms together, we have:

3xy³ + 7xy³ = 10xy³

8x²y - 9x²y = -x²y

-3xy + 6xy = 3xy

Combining these terms, the simplified expression becomes:

10xy³ - x²y + 3xy

Therefore, the correct option is:

O 10xy³ - x²y + 3xy
