Simplify the following expression. 5(x + y) + 3(x - y)

1 answer:

4 0

It could also be written as
5x+5y+3x-3y when you merge the factors
from here you could add like terms
5x+3x+5y-3y
8x+2y would be your final answer since x and y aren't like terms therefore it cannot be reduced further

$\large \mathfrak{Solution : }$

let's solve for x :

$\dfrac{2}{9} x - \dfrac{1}{3} = - 1$

$\dfrac{2}{9} x = - 1 + \dfrac{1}{3}$

$\dfrac{2}{9} x = \dfrac{ - 3 + 1}{3}$

$x = \dfrac{ - 2}{3} \times \dfrac{9}{2}$

$x = - 3$

I hope it helped...
