Question

Simplify −2xy + 3x − 2xy + 3x and can you explain the answer?

Answer 1

Answer:

 $-4xy+6x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Expression =  $-2xy+3x-2xy+3x$

Simplifying the expression :

Step 1. Write the expression =   $-2xy+3x-2xy+3x$

Step 2.  Add the similar elements:  $3x+3x=6x$

          =  $-2xy-2xy+6x$

Step 3. Add the similar elements:  $-2xy-2xy=-4xy$

           = $-4xy+6x$

Therefore, $-4xy+6x$ is the simplified form of  $-2xy+3x-2xy+3x$

Answer 2

First you must combine like terms, the two terms I this expression are x, and xy. So by adding -2xy to -2xy you get -4xy. Next you must add 3x to 3x. This gives you the simplified expression -4xy+6x. Hope this helps!
