Answer 1

First, combine like terms. In other words, combine the x's with the x's and the y's with the y's

Answer 2

when you have a plus in front of the parenthesis, the coefficients (numbers in front of the variables) don't change. They either remain positive or remain negative (depending on what they now are).

Answer 3

you can re-write this without any parenthesis, to make it look easier, and add like term.
