Simplify y+y

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

if you have 1 apple and I give you another apple, how many apples do you have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2y because there are 2 of them

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

you would have 2 apples so apple + apple = 2apple so y+y = 2y

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

you may think of it as 1*y+1*y = (1+1)y = 2y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not to interrupt, but why on earth would a math teacher call addition "simplify" there is no such mathematical operation as "simplify"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

teacher logic OP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hello y+y equals to y^2.It is similar to the problem 1+1.Its just that this problem contains ones. for example: u have to put one in front of the letter 1y +1y =2 y or y 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wouldnt it be Y to the second because Y has to be by itself .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It can have two answers y^2 or y +y so you wouldn't be wrong @ selfless but u have to imagine like it has a 1 in front of the y and do 1Y +1y =2y

O yea now i remember learning that i like algebra Math . I wish i was good at freakin geometry like algebra .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if anybody had FLVS geometry and can help me with the second semester that would be great.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Missy said y + y = y^2 -.-, that's completely wrong, y x y = y^2, y+y = 2y >_>, lol simplify o_O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dude Y2 and 2Y are pretty much the same it doesnt matter what side they are on.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

missy got it write

OpenStudy (anonymous):
