Answer 1

seems like you're missing a variable there somewhere. can you please type it out correctly one more time please?

Answer 2

Simplify the following:
2 x-4 y+3 x^2+7 y-16 x
Group like terms in 2 x-4 y+3 x^2+7 y-16 x.
Grouping like terms, 2 x-4 y+3 x^2+7 y-16 x = (7 y-4 y)+3 x^2+(2 x-16 x):
(7 y-4 y)+3 x^2+(2 x-16 x)
Combine like terms in 7 y-4 y.
7 y-4 y = 3 y:
3 y+3 x^2+(2 x-16 x)
Combine like terms in 2 x-16 x.
2 x-16 x = -14 x:
Answer: 3 y+3 x^2-14 x
