Simplify the following expression. 3y-2x+z-2x+3(x+y) A. -x+4y+z B. -x+6y+z C. x+4y+z D. 3x+4y+z
i think its c.
First expand 3(x + y) to give 3(x + y) = 3x + 3y Then group the terms in x and the terms in y to give 3y + 3y + 3x - 2x -2x + z Can you find the answer now by adding the terms in x and adding the terms in y?
no so it will be B.
6y-x+z i feel like i got that wrong
NO CUZ LIKE THAT GURL SAID 3Y+3Y= WOULD EQUAL 6Y
@brittbrat213 You got it right. When you rearrange the terms in your answer you get B.
oh okay i get it now will it be the same when it uses exponents? or will it be different
It would be best if you give a question with exponents. You must group terms with the same variable and the same exponent.
i have trouble on this 2 sometimes dont feel bad
Simplify the expression. 2x^2+8+3x^2+4x-10 A. 5x^2+4x-2 B. 2x^2+x-10 C. 2x^2-x+10 D. 5x^2+7x-11
i think B. or D.
\[2x ^{2}+3x ^{2}+4x+8-10=?x ^{2}+4x-2\] Can you find the coefficient of x^2 ?
is it 5?
Yes, the coefficient of x^2 is 5. So the correct choice is A :)
can you help me with 3 more questions? :s
Best if you post them as new questions so others can help too :)
