Answer 2

-1x-3y+10z

Answer 3

lolhelpplz, you should explain how to do the problem instead of simply doing it and giving the answer.

Answer 4

I gave them the second step.

Answer 5

Answer 10

Cara, if you want to know how this is done, you need to group like terms. What are like terms? They have to have the same variable and the same power.

2x + 5x
are like terms.
2x + 5y
are not.

4y + y
are like terms.
4y + \(y^2\)
are not.

So you look through your problem and you find like terms, and the group them. How do you group them? Just add 'em together.
2x + 5x = 7x
4y + y = 5y
\(4x^2 - 8x^2 = -4x^2\)
