Problem:

Find an expression that represents the sum of (10x – 8y) and (6x + 6y) in simplest terms.

Solution:

Let the following polynomial :

$\mleft(10x-8y\mright)+(6x+6y)$

Putting together the similar terms, we obtain:

$(10x\text{ + 6x)+(-8y+6y)}$

Adding the similar terms, we obtain that this is equivalent to:

$16x\text{ -2y}$

We conclude that an expression that represents the sum of (10x – 8y) and (6x + 6y) in simplest terms is:

$16x\text{ -2y}$
