Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
23x + xy - y + 3y + 5 - 20x + 6xy = 23x - 20x + xy + 6xy -y + 3y + 5
= 3x + 7xy + 2y + 5
Errors:1) The combined coefficients of the x terms should be 3x, not 43x
2) The coefficients of the y terms have been multiplied.
3) The constant was left off.
Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the common difference, take the second term and subtract the first term
-2 - 3 = -5
Check with the third term and the second term
-7 - (-2) = -7 +2 = -5
The common difference is -5
Answer:
8x+6
Step-by-step explanation:
To simplify it, the first thing you want to do is distribute the three.
So
3(x+2) = 3x+6,
So we can then add the 5x to it.
3x+6+5x
Then, Combine Like Terms
8x+6
