Question

3. Rewrite the expression as simply as you can:
3x + 11y - 2x - 4y

Answer 1

x+7y

Explanation:

3x + 11y -2x - 4y

(3x) + (11y) + (-2x) + (-4y)

(3x) + (-2x) = x

(11y) + (-4y) = 7y

3x + 11y -2x - 4y = x + 7y

Answer 2

x+7y

Explanation:

First off, lets split the question into both x and y.

3x - 2x for the x

11y - 4y for the y

You can solve both of them to get x + 7y

3x - 2x = x

11y - 4y = 7y

Then, add them back up and get x + 7y
