As an editor, it’s considered that long sentences lower the absorption of content by your reader. (16
17x(1-2y)
17x-34xy
because both expressions have a x, it would be easier to factor out the x first. but because 17 is a factor of 34 you can simply divide 34 by 17 and get 2. so you put it together to this,

Because, 17x times 1 is 17x but 17x times -2y would be -32xy.
It’s 10 it has it near the dot
(-2,2)
