1 answer

To simplify the expression \((49x - 14y) + (37x + 70y)\), we can first combine like terms.

  1. Combine the \(x\) terms: \[ 49x + 37x = 86x \]

  2. Combine the \(y\) terms: \[ -14y + 70y = 56y \]

Now, putting it all together, we have: \[ 86x + 56y \]

Therefore, the simplified expression is:

D. \(86x + 56y\).
