Question

Simplify:
a) 3x + 5y - x + 2y
b)
3g + 5h + 4g - 2h

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{a) 2x+7y}$

$\huge\boxed{b) 7g+3h}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a:

= 3x + 5y - x + 2y

Combining like terms

= 3x - x + 5y + 2y

= 2x + 7y

Part b:

= 3g + 5h + 4g - 2h

Combining like terms

= 3g + 4g + 5h - 2h

= 7g + 3h

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

Hope this helped!
