Simplify. You may use the properties to help. When you type your answer, do not space between numbers and symbols. 
5x + 2y − 3x + y

anonymous · Answer

simplifying algebra expressions means to perform all operations possible. 
here you can combine "like terms". 
5x - 3x + 2y + y
(5 - 3)x + (2+1) y
2x + 3y.

Try thinking of x as apples and y as oranges.
5 apples + 2 oranges - 3 apples + one orange =
(5-3) apples + (2 + 1) orange
2 apples + 3 oranges. or algebraically 2x + 3y.
