Answer 2

2x+3y+2x-2y-3x
4x+y-3x
x+y

Answer 3

2x + 3y + 2(x – y) – 3x

When distributing, you multiply the number outside of the parenthesis to all the values inside the parenthesis.

Here, 2 is outside of the parenthesis.

x and -y are INSIDE the parenthesis.

Multiply 2 * x and 2 * -y.

2(x - y) = 2x - 2y

Answer 4

is that the full show your work?

Answer 5

Almost the last part of your directions say to justify using number properties so you need to give a proof

Answer 6

2x + 3y + 2(x – y) – 3x

2x + 3y + 2x - 2y - 3x

Simplify all 'x' terms:

x + 3y - 2y

Simplify All 'y' terms:

x + y
