Question

Simplify 2x + 8y + 3x + y

Answer 1

`= > 2x + 8y + 3x + y \\ \\ = > 5x + 9y`

Answer 2

5x + 9y

Explanation:

Combine like terms (terms with the same variables as well as the same amount of variables).

2x + 3x + 8y + y = (2x + 3x) +(8y + y)

Combine:

2x + 3x = 5x

8y + y = 9y

5x + 9y is your answer.
