Math Problem Statement

Click and drag like terms onto each other to simplify fully. minus, 3, y−3yminus, 3, y−3yminus, 5−5plus, 5+5plus, 2+2

Solution

To simplify the expression fully, we need to group and combine like terms. Let’s break it down:

You have the terms:

  • 3y-3y
  • +3y+3y
  • 5-5
  • +5+5
  • +2+2

Step-by-step:

  1. Combine the yy-terms:

    • 3y+3y=0-3y + 3y = 0
  2. Combine the constants:

    • 5+5=0-5 + 5 = 0
    • You're left with 0+2=20 + 2 = 2

Final simplified expression:

The result is 2.
