Answer:

$\large\boxed{10 - 4y}$

Step-by-step explanation:

12 - 5y + 21 + y - 23

Combine like terms (add -5y to + y)

12 + 21 - 4y - 23

Add 12 + 21

33 - 4y - 23

Subtract 23 from 33

$\large\boxed{10 - 4y}$

This is the simplest form of the expression.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

10 - 4y

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms. 12, 21 and -23 add up to 10, and -5y + y is -4y.

Then, together, we have 10 - 4y (answer)

Using the pattern, give the coefficients of (x + y)^5 and (x + y)^6

Answer:

$(x+y)^5=x^5+5x^4y+10x^3y^2+10x^2y^3+5xy^4+y^5$

$(x+y)^6=x^6+6x^5y+15x^4y^2+20x^3y^3+15x^2y^4+6xy^5+y^6$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the values of $(x+y)^5$ and $(x+y)^6$ , you need to apply the binomial theorem (high-level math you most likely don't need to worry about, it's easier than multiplying all the binomials together).

$(x+y)^5$ = $\sum _{i=0}^5\binom{5}{i}x^{\left(5-i\right)}y^i$ = $\frac{5!}{0!\left(5-0\right)!}x^5y^0+\frac{5!}{1!\left(5-1\right)!}x^4y^1+\frac{5!}{2!\left(5-2\right)!}x^3y^2+\frac{5!}{3!\left(5-3\right)!}x^2y^3+\frac{5!}{4!\left(5-4\right)!}x^1y^4+\frac{5!}{5!\left(5-5\right)!}x^0y^5$ = $x^5+5x^4y+10x^3y^2+10x^2y^3+5xy^4+y^5$ .

$(x+y)^6$ = $\sum _{i=0}^6\binom{6}{i}x^{\left(6-i\right)}y^i$ = $\frac{6!}{0!\left(6-0\right)!}x^6y^0+\frac{6!}{1!\left(6-1\right)!}x^5y^1+\frac{6!}{2!\left(6-2\right)!}x^4y^2+\frac{6!}{3!\left(6-3\right)!}x^3y^3+\frac{6!}{4!\left(6-4\right)!}x^2y^4+\frac{6!}{5!\left(6-5\right)!}x^1y^5+\frac{6!}{6!\left(6-6\right)!}x^0y^6$ = $x^6+6x^5y+15x^4y^2+20x^3y^3+15x^2y^4+6xy^5+y^6$ .
