Math Problem Statement

Simplify the expression 2 - 3x + y + 2 + 7y - 3y

Solution

The expression given in the image is:

23x+y+2+7y3y2 - 3x + y + 2 + 7y - 3y

To simplify the expression, we need to combine like terms:

  1. Constant Terms: 22 and 22.
  2. x-Terms: 3x-3x.
  3. y-Terms: y+7y3yy + 7y - 3y.

Let's simplify step by step:

  1. Combine the constant terms: 2+2=42 + 2 = 4.
  2. The x-term remains as 3x-3x.
  3. Combine the y-terms: y+7y3y=5yy + 7y - 3y = 5y.

So the fully simplified expression is:

43x+5y4 - 3x + 5y
