Combine the like terms to simplify the expression: 9 + 3 + 17xy2 + 8y3 + 10x –13xy2 – 9x – 6y3 A. 2y3 + 4xy2 + x + 12 B. 2y6 + 4x2y2 + 10x + 12 C. 2y3 + 4xy2 + 10x + 9 D. 2y3 – 4xy2 – 3x + 12
@Directrix
Like terms must have the same variables in the same powers.
9 + 3 + 17xy2 + 8y3 + 10x –13xy2 – 9x – 6y3 = 8y3 – 6y3 +17xy2 –13xy2 + 10x – 9x + 9 + 3 =
Look at the terms. The like terms are together. Be sure you see how they are grouped.
8y3 – 6y3 +17xy2 –13xy2 + 10x – 9x + 9 + 3 = ?
Waiting for you to add the like terms.
I found out the answer it is C. 2y3 + 4xy2 + 10x + 9
thx for your help
Let me see what I get.
I did not get that answer.
Whoever said this is wrong, I think. C. 2y3 + 4xy2 + 10x + 9
8y3 – 6y3 +17xy2 –13xy2 + 10x – 9x + 9 + 3 = 2y3 + 4xy2 + x + 12
