@Nasa7 @Hero @yomamabf @jdoe0001

OpenStudy (zpupster):

first multiply thru brackets 2x +3y +2x-2y-3x now combine the like terms(x's and y's)

OpenStudy (itsbribro):

i forgot how to combine like terms... @zpupster

OpenStudy (zpupster):

2x +3y +2x-2y-3x put x's together and y's (2x+2x+-3x) +(3y-2y)

OpenStudy (itsbribro):

oh so that's how it would look?

OpenStudy (itsbribro):

then so i add and subtract whats in the brackets?

OpenStudy (itsbribro):

1x+1y 2xy did i answer it right or not....

OpenStudy (itsbribro):

@zpupster sorry to bother so much

OpenStudy (zpupster):

x+ y is the answer or 1x+1y if you write them as 2xy that implies we are multiplying we are not, that is as far as you can go

OpenStudy (itsbribro):
