-4y+7+9y-3 help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=5y+4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4y+9y+7-3=5y+4

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

what are you trying to do here @MEME4REAL ? If you are trying to combine like terms, just add the stuff with y and then the stuff without variables

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

guys…don't provide answers. Please try to show a process

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

and yes, I'm fully aware there isn't much of a process to show but...

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

@chetan552 and @cbv80 I recommend you both check this link out: http://openstudy.com/code-of-conduct thanks, and @MEME4REAL do you understand how to go about solving this problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am sorry...@Jamierox4ev3r

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

no problem, just don't repeat the same mistake before moderators take notice

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

so for this problem… the like terms are: -4y+9y and 7-3

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

what does -4y + 9y equal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

13

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

no… if you take 9-4, you get ____. Don't forget to add the variable at the end

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5y

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

yep :) and 7-3=___

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

so put 5y and 4 together, you get___

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9y

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

no… sorry took me a while to answer. it would be 5y+4 because the two are not like terms

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

so 5y+4 is your final answer. Does that make sense? @MEME4REAL ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeaa thank you alot

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

no problem :)
