Question

-4y - 6y = ?

Answer 1

if this is simply an expression..then these are like terms

Answer 2

think of this as -4-6, which equals -10. then slap the y back on it, since they are like terms.

It doesn't appear as if you have to be solving for anything here

Answer 3

factor out the y

-4y - 6y = y(-4-6) = (-4-6)y

What is -4 - 6 = ?

Hint: We can factor out -1 from -4-6, and get: -1(4+6)

Yes, and that can be reduced / simplified.

Answer 5
