Question

Which expression is equivalent to 37x + (5 - 60y) + 8 - (17x + 10 - 23y)?

Answer 1

20x-37y+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression:

`37x+(5-60y)+8-(17x+10-23y)`

First, we open the brackets.

`=37x+5-60y+8-17x-10+23y`

Next, we bring like terms (terms containing the same letters) together.

`=37x-17x-60y+23y+8-10+5`

We then simplify our results.

`=20x-37y+3`
