simplify. (4xy^2-7y^2+2x) - ( 5x^2y+x-6xy^2)

OpenStudy (uri):

Okay,so first step is before you remove the parenthesis of the other part you,change the signs like, negative + positive =negative negative+negative=positive

OpenStudy (uri):

(4xy^2-7y^2+2x) - ( 5x^2y+x-6xy^2) 4xy^2-7y^2+2x - 5x^2y-x+6xy^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't I combine the like terms next?

OpenStudy (uri):

Now the second part is,get all xy^2 together and y^2 together and x's together/

OpenStudy (uri):

Yeah,that. Can you arrange and show?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4xy^2+6xy^2-7y^2+2x-5x^2y

OpenStudy (uri):

Now add the values with xy^2 together.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10xy^2+6xy^2-7y^2+2x-5x^2y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops forget the 6xy^2

OpenStudy (uri):

and you forgot x 2x-x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was copying the eqution back and forgot to skip that part when re-typing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ugh sorry I just have so much to get done i'm kinda rushing =p

OpenStudy (uri):

It would be like, 4xy^2-7y^2+2x - 5x^2y-x+6xy^2 4xy^2+6xy^2+2x-x-7y^2-5x^2y 10xy^2+x-7y^2-5x^y.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, basically what I said in the beginning

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know I had to show working..

OpenStudy (uri):

@ryanvarghese12790 But you're not allowed to give direct answers. You need to guide the student. It' their job.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
