Question

Simplify by combining like terms 8x^2+7xy+5y^2+8x^2-xy+y^2

Answer 1

How to get answer:

- Find how many terms are in the algebraic equation. Counting I got 6 terms.

There are 2 xy's and 2 x's and 2y's

- Next combine all like terms

$8x^{2} + 8x^{2} = 16x^{2}$

7xy+-xy=6xy

$5y^{2} + y^{2}$=$6y^{2}$

- Next Simplify

$16x^{2}+6xy+6y^{2}$

Answer 2

By combining the like terms; the simplified answer in the correct way is 16x^2+6xy+6y^2
