A. 5(x + y + 7)
B. 5x + y + 2
C. 11x + 5y + 12
D. x + 8y – 12
E. 2x + 4y – 10

Answer 1

C. 11x + 5y + 12

Explanation:

You have to combine all like terms For example:

5x + 6x + y + y + 3y + 4 + 6 + 2

First add 5x and 6x

5x + 6x = 11x

Then you get:

11x + y + y + 3y + 4 + 6 + 2

Next add all of the y's

y + y + 3y = 5y

then you get

5x + 6x + 5y + 4 + 6 + 2

Finally add 4, 6, and 2

4 + 6 + 2 = 12

So your final solution should be 11x + 5y + 12

Answer 2

`we \: have \: 5x + 6x + y + y + 3y + 4 + 6 + 2 \\ x \: terms = 5x + 6x = 11x \\ y \: terms = y + y + 3y = 5y \\ constant = 4 + 6 + 2 = 12 \\ then \: 11x + 5y + 12 \\ option \: (c) \\ thank \: you`
