Question

Simplify: 10x - 4xy + 6xy + 8x. Work shown please if possible! Please also put an explanation!

Answer 1

Combine your like terms. So it would be 10x plus 8x. Which equals 18x. Then you would take -4xy plus 6xy. That equals 2xy.

So your simplified equation would be 18x+2xy.

Answer 2

combine like terms. 10x + 8x and -4xy+6xy
then you get 18x+2xy
*like terms means they have to have the same exact variables
