Question

Combine the like terms to simplify the expression:

9 + 3 + 17xy(2) + 8y(3) + 10x –13xy(2) – 9x – 6y(3)

A. 2y(3) + 4xy(2) + x + 12
B. 2y(3) + 4xy(2) + 10x + 9
C. 2y(3) – 4xy(2) – 3x + 12
D. 2y(6) + 4x2y(2) + 10x + 12

THE NUMBERS IN THE PARENTHESIS ARE EXPONENTS

Answer 1

lease help I'm stuck

Answer 2

9 + 3 + 17xy^2 + 8y^3 + 10x - 13xy^2 - 9x - 6y^3

lets put our like terms together..
8y^3 - 6y^3 = 2y^3
17xy^2 - 13xy^2 = 4xy^2
10x - 9x = x
9 + 3 = 12

so now we have :
2y^3 + 4xy^2 + x + 12
