Math Problem Statement

Fully simplify 9x + 4y + 2 + 3y - 2x

Solution

Let's fully simplify the given expression:

9x+4y+2+3y2x9x + 4y + 2 + 3y - 2x

Step 1: Combine like terms

  • Combine the terms with xx: 9x2x=7x9x - 2x = 7x

  • Combine the terms with yy: 4y+3y=7y4y + 3y = 7y

  • The constant 22 remains unchanged.

Final simplified expression:

7x+7y+27x + 7y + 2

Would you like any additional details on the simplification process?

Here are five related questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. How do we identify like terms in an algebraic expression?
  2. Can you combine different variables, like xx and yy, in any way?
  3. What is the importance of constants in expressions?
  4. How would you simplify an expression with three different variables?
  5. Can you factor the expression 7x+7y+27x + 7y + 2?

Tip: Always group and simplify like terms first before moving to more complex steps in algebraic expressions.
