Yes, now add 17 + 7 - 17

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

You know, you shouldn't expect answers given to you. @tHe_FiZiCx99 is trying to help you and you're slightly being rude, and barely listening. He knows what he's doing. Appreciate the fact he's still here helping you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i know but answer is what i said sorry for being rude

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

What...? Forget it, just add 17 + 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Yes, now put them together. 12x + 5y + 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24xy

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

;_; I already put them together. Your final answer is 12x + 5y + 7 12x and 5y aren't like terms therefore cannot be added together
