The answer is false, it is only true for postulates, not conjectures.
If i'm not wrong its distributing property of addition. <span />
Recognize that you must combine "like" terms. 5x^2y and x^2y are "like" terms.
Adding them together, you get 6x^2y.
Now add 2xy^2 to 6x^2y. These are NOT "like" terms, so you end up with
6x^2y+2xy^2 as your final answer. This answer is acceptable as is.
However, you could factor out the common factors: 2xy(3x+y).
Answer:
-142
Step-by-step explanation:
First solve parenthesis,
(12) - (23 +131) =
(12) -154
Finally subtract,
12-154
= -142
It is the middle because the top and bottom don’t add up or make sense
