Answer:

72 y + 35 x

Explanation:

Simplify the following:

(61 y + 38 x) - (-11 y + 3 x)

-(-11 y + 3 x) = 11 y - 3 x:

38 x + 61 y + 11 y - 3 x

Grouping like terms, 61 y + 11 y + 38 x - 3 x = (61 y + 11 y) + (38 x - 3 x):

(61 y + 11 y) + (38 x - 3 x)

61 y + 11 y = 72 y:

72 y + (38 x - 3 x)

38 x - 3 x = 35 x:

Answer: 72 y + 35 x
