Question

Identify the like terms, explain how you know they are like terms, and simplify the expressions:

10y + 3x + 10 +x -2y
3x - y + 4x + 6 - 2y

Answer 1

anyone wanna help me?

Answer 2

x=-3

Answer 3

there is no equal sign in the original expression so you cannot solve for x or y

any way, like terms are terms with the same combination of variables raised to the same exponent

ex:
10y + 3x + 10 +x -2y

notice how you have + 3x and + x, since they both have x raised to the first power with no other variables, you can add these together to get 4x

10y + 4x - 2y + 10

try to combine the y terms using the same logic
