Okay so in this case, you should first re-arrange the terms  like so:

It happens

UkuleleGirl · Answer

it was suppsoed to be 
$3y^2+3y^2+2x+2x$

Hero · Answer

Which is why you should post the question in the question part. Because then you could edit it if you make a mistake.

UkuleleGirl · Answer

yesh

UkuleleGirl · Answer

Jay should make it to where we can edit our comments as well

Hero · Answer

Okay so in this case, you can just follow the same method I showed you which is to factor out the common factors like so:

= $(3 + 3)y^2 + (2 + 2)x$

Hero · Answer

In this manner, it is clear now that you can simply add the numbers to get the result

UkuleleGirl · Answer

I got $6y^2+4x$

Hero · Answer

No this time, it is correct according to what you have posted. You must have made a mistake again. Now you must screenshot from here on out.

UkuleleGirl · Answer

ok

Hero · Answer

Screenshot the question please.

UkuleleGirl · Answer

smh turns out...you were right this whole time and my mind is somehow so srewed up that it was actually 3x^2 the whole time.

Hero · Answer

I want to see what the mistake was that you made.

Hero · Answer

Okay yes you have to screenshot from here on out to avoid question-posting mistakes.

UkuleleGirl · Answer

okay

UkuleleGirl · Answer

I swear I can't count.

UkuleleGirl · Answer

if we add 3x and 2x we get 5. But what about the one with the exponet

Hero · Answer

Actually $3x^2$, $2x$ and $3x$ all three of those terms have $x$ in common.

UkuleleGirl · Answer

Yes

UkuleleGirl · Answer

omg don't tell me we gotta factor

Hero · Answer

So here's what to do in this case. Re-write as:
$3y^2 + (3x + 2 + 3)x$ Then combine the 2 and 3

UkuleleGirl · Answer

oh

Hero · Answer

Well, that may be a little confusing for you actually.

Hero · Answer

So instead, just combine the 2x and 3x

Hero · Answer

$3y^2 + 3x^2 + (2 + 3)x$

UkuleleGirl · Answer

Hero · Answer

Sorry to hear.

Yes but write the complete expression you get afterwards just to be sure.

UkuleleGirl · Answer

huh

Hero · Answer

There's more than just "2 + 3 = 5 in the expression you received originally. I need to know exactly what you plan to enter into the answer box.

UkuleleGirl · Answer

uhm

Hero · Answer

That way you don't come back and say "it's wrong again".

UkuleleGirl · Answer
