Question

which expression represents the sum of (2x-5y) and (x+y)?

Answer 1

(3x-4y)
Because 2x plus 1x equals 3x
And -5y plus 1y equals -4y

Answer 2

The answer is: " 3x - 4y " .

______________________

Step-by-step explanation:

______________________

" (2x - 5y)  + (x + y) " ;

= (2x - 5y) + 1(x + y) ;

=  2x - 5y + 1x + 1y  ;

Now, combine the "like terms" :

 + 2x + 1x =  3x ;

  -5y + 1y = - 4y ;

______________________

  and write the expression:

______________________

 →    " 3x - 4y " .
