so add like terms 6x-2y+x+5y=6x+x+5y-2y 7x+3y
So,
6x + -2y + x + 5y
Collect Like Terms
7x + 3y
7x + 3y
To simplify the expression 6 x − 2 y + x + 5 y , we combine the like terms to get 7 x + 3 y . First, we combine the x terms ( 6 x + x ) and then the y terms ( − 2 y + 5 y ). The final simplified expression is 7 x + 3 y .
