math test

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add the y together and x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the x2 the two is a variable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7y-5y -x2+3x-17x+2x2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[7y-x^2+3x-17x-5y+2x^2\] i think you are being asked to combine like terms right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2y-18x+2x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok lets put the like terms together

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[7y-5y=?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x-17x this way would be -14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-14x

lol \(-14\) what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so far we have \[2y-14x\] one more term to deal with

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or if you prefer \[2x^2-x^2\]same thing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is x2

yes it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because a one is like invisible

OpenStudy (anonymous):
