Simplify the expression:

(5y−1)+(−2y+4)
(1 point)

1 answer

To simplify the expression \((5y - 1) + (-2y + 4)\), follow these steps:

  1. Remove the parentheses: \[ 5y - 1 - 2y + 4 \]

  2. Combine the like terms:

    • Combine the \(y\) terms: \(5y - 2y = 3y\)
    • Combine the constant terms: \(-1 + 4 = 3\)

So, the simplified expression is: \[ 3y + 3 \]

Thus, the final answer is: \[ 3y + 3 \]
