Question

Simplify 10 Y minus 2Y +11-3+ 8X minus 4X

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \(10Y - 2Y + 11 - 3 + 8X - 4X\), we can combine like terms.

First, combine the \(Y\) terms:
\[
10Y - 2Y = 8Y
\]

Next, combine the constants:
\[
11 - 3 = 8
\]

Now, combine the \(X\) terms:
\[
8X - 4X = 4X
\]

Putting it all together, we have:
\[
8Y + 8 + 4X
\]

We can write it in standard form:
\[
4X + 8Y + 8
\]

So, the simplified expression is:
\[
4X + 8Y + 8
\]
