Question

I forgot how to do this, can you help me understand how to do this?

Answer 1

Given the expression:

`2y+4y+3`

You can simplify it by adding the like terms (or combining the like terms).

By definition, like terms are those terms that have the same variables and the same exponents. Their coefficients can be different.

In this case, you can identify that these are like terms:

`\begin{gathered} 2y \\ \\ 4y \end{gathered}`

Therefore, in order to add them, you have to add the coefficients 2 and 4:

`=6y+3`

Hence, the answer is:

`6y+3`
