Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 310x + 16y + 310x + 36y \), start by combining like terms.

1. Combine the \( x \) terms:
\[
310x + 310x = 620x
\]

2. Combine the \( y \) terms:
\[
16y + 36y = 52y
\]

3. Now, combine both results:
\[
620x + 52y
\]

Next, look for any fractions in your original prompt involving \( \frac{3}{10}x \) and \( \frac{1}{6}y + \frac{3}{6}y \):

\[
\frac{3}{10}x + \frac{1}{6}y + \frac{3}{10}x + \frac{3}{6}y
\]

1. Combine the \( x \) terms:
\[
\frac{3}{10}x + \frac{3}{10}x = \frac{6}{10}x = \frac{3}{5}x
\]

2. Combine the \( y \) terms:
\[
\frac{1}{6}y + \frac{3}{6}y = \frac{1+3}{6}y = \frac{4}{6}y = \frac{2}{3}y
\]

3. Thus, the simplified expression is:
\[
\frac{3}{5}x + \frac{2}{3}y
\]

So the simplified expression for \( 310x + 16y + 310x + 36y \) is \( 620x + 52y \) and for \( \frac{3}{10}x + \frac{1}{6}y + \frac{3}{10}x + \frac{3}{6}y \) is \( \frac{3}{5}x + \frac{2}{3}y \).
