−4x−6−7y+2−6x−4+4y

1 answer

Let's simplify the expression step by step. We will combine like terms.

The given expression is: \[ -4x - 6 - 7y + 2 - 6x - 4 + 4y \]

First, let's group the like terms:

  • For x terms: \(-4x - 6x\)
  • For y terms: \(-7y + 4y\)
  • For constant terms: \(-6 + 2 - 4\)

Now, simplify each group:

  1. For x terms: \[ -4x - 6x = -10x \]

  2. For y terms: \[ -7y + 4y = -3y \]

  3. For constant terms: \[ -6 + 2 - 4 = -8 \]

Now, we can combine these results: \[ -10x - 3y - 8 \]

Thus, the simplified expression is: \[ \boxed{-10x - 3y - 8} \]
