Question

Simplify each expression 6x + 4y + 5x

Answer 1

Answer: 11x+4y

Step-by-step explanation:

The like terms are 6x and 5x. They add to 11x since 6+5 = 11, and then we tack x onto each to get 6x+5x = 11x.

You can think 6x representing the idea we have 6 boxes. Then adding on 5x means we have 5 more boxes to get 6+5 = 11 boxes total.

Answer 2

11x + 4y

combine like terms together (add 6x and 5x)
