Question

Someone walk though simplifying this problem?

Answer 1

where's the prob???

Answer 2

\[(t-7+3y) - (2-y+t)\]

Answer 3

Okay so you're going to distribute the - sign to (2-y+t)

Answer 4

therefore multiplying with -1

Answer 5

So it would be -2+y-t. How do I fit that with the rest of the equation?

Answer 6

yes :)

Answer 7

okay so the equation will now be t-7+3y-2+y-t

Answer 8

So the equation is t-7+3y-2+y+t? :)

Answer 9

yes good job :) now you're going to combine like terms

Answer 10

t-7+3y-2+y-t like this

Answer 11

Ahhh! Thank you! I wasn't sure if that was right or not. :)

Answer 12

okay no problem :) just combine like terms and you'll get your answer
