Question

What is the sum of the following? 88x+4y+2x+1y

Answer 1

Hey there!☺

$\text{Answer: }\boxed{90x+5y}$

$\textbf{\text{Explanation:}}$

$88x+4y+2x+1y$

In our first step, we will need to identify like terms.

$\textbf{88x}+4y+\textbf{2x}+1y \rightarrow \text{x variables are like terms}\\88x+\textbf{4y} + 2x + \textbf{1y} \rightarrow \text{y variables are like terms}$

Now that the like terms have been identified, we will need to add them. Adding variables are simple; you add the whole numbers while the variable says the same.

$88x+2x=90x$

$4y+1y=5y$

Now, we will add.

$90x+5y$

The answer is 90x+5y.

Hope this helps! ☺
