Answer:
Explanation:
72) 5*(x +y) - 2x
= 5x + 5y - 2x {Distributive property}
= (5x - 2x) + 5y {Combine like terms}
= 3x + 5y
73) 2*(pq) + pq
= 2pq + pq {Combine like terms}
= 3pq
74) 6a + (8b + 2a)
= 6a + 2a + 8b {Combine like terms}
= 8a + 8b
75) 3*x² + (x² + 7x)
= 3x² + x² + 7x {Combine like terms}
= 4x² + 7x
