Answer:
3xy
Step-by-step explanation:
These terms are all like terms so you can add:
-2xy + 2xy = <em>0xy</em>
Now add 3xy + 0xy: 3xy
The answer would be 7/24
You can start by finding a common denominator. Since the lowest common denominator 3 and 8 have in common is 24 then that would be your denominator.
Then you can cross multiply 3*3= 9 and 2*8=16

16-9= 7
7/24
Then you are left with your answer:
is already in reduced terms.
Hope this helps! :3
I worked it out and I got south Africa
2x + 2*(2x-5) = 38 is the equation
solving it
2x + 4x - 10 = 38
6x = 48
x = 8
