Answer 1

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

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

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

3. Putting it all together, you get:
\[
3y + 3
\]

Therefore, the simplified expression is:
\[
\boxed{3y + 3}
\]
