In these types of problems, the first step is to combine like terms. Like terms are terms with the same exponent (power), and the same variable (like all x's). In the above equation, we can combine -5x, 2x and -3y. Let's do it:

The next step would be to factor out the common ratio, which is not applicable here, so your answer would be
-6x + 7y. Hope this helps!
Ummm yes please! Thanks so much!!! Merry Christmas
