Math Problem Statement

X - (2y + 3X) - 2y

Solution

The given expression is:

X(2y+3X)2yX - (2y + 3X) - 2y

Let's simplify it step by step.

  1. Distribute the negative sign inside the parentheses:

X2y3X2yX - 2y - 3X - 2y

  1. Now, combine like terms:
  • For the terms with XX: X3X=2XX - 3X = -2X
  • For the terms with yy: 2y2y=4y-2y - 2y = -4y

So, the simplified expression is:

2X4y-2X - 4y
