Simplify the following expression.

(49x + 60y) + (46x - 16y)

1 answer

To simplify the expression \((49x + 60y) + (46x - 16y)\), we can first combine the like terms.

  1. Combine the \(x\) terms: \[ 49x + 46x = 95x \]

  2. Combine the \(y\) terms: \[ 60y - 16y = 44y \]

Putting it all together, the simplified expression is: \[ 95x + 44y \]

Thus, the final answer is: \[ \boxed{95x + 44y} \]
