difference between twice the sum of x and y and the sum of twice x and y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know that is 2 (x+ Y) and the other 2x+2y) but i have to explain it in sentences

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

twice the sum of x and y: 2(x + y) the sum of twice x and y: 2x + y difference: 2(x + y) - (2x + y) now simplify

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

It's not exactly as you wrote it

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Twice the sum of x and y means to add x and y and then multiply by 2. The sum of twice x and y means to multiply x by 2 and then add y. After those two steps, subtract the second one from the first one.
