Question

Simplify the following expression.

Answer 1

Answer:

77x+33y

Step-by-step explanation:

Eliminate redundant parentheses

(33x+53y)+(44x−20y)

33+53+44−20

Combine like terms

33x+53y+44x−20y

77+53−20

Combine like terms

77x+53y−20y

77+33

Solution:

77+33

Answer 2

Answer: The answer would be D.

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is combine like terms.

Pretend that the parenthesis aren't there. 13x + 9y + 38x + 33y.

When you combine like terms, you add or subtract the terms that have the same variable attached.

13x + 38x = 51x.

9y + 33y = 42y

51x + 42y.
