5(x + y) + 3(x - y)

OpenStudy (anteater):

Do they just want you to simplify this expression?

OpenStudy (anteater):

If so, you can start by distributing the 5 and the 3: 5x + 5y + 3x - 3y

OpenStudy (anteater):

Then combine "like" terms: 8x + 2y

ok thank you

OpenStudy (anteater):

You're welcome! I didn't know whether to just put the answer down or leave hints. I thought maybe you had left, so I put the answer so you could see the steps. I hope that was ok.
