Math Problem Statement

Simplify: 3y + 3x + 6x

Solution

The expression given is:

3y+3x+6x3y + 3x + 6x

To simplify, first combine like terms. The terms 3x3x and 6x6x are like terms because they both involve xx. Adding them together:

3x+6x=9x3x + 6x = 9x

So, the simplified expression becomes:

3y+9x3y + 9x
