Question

Explain and simplify these equations:

2) -6x + 8y +10x

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \(-6x + 8y + 10x\), we can focus on the terms that involve the variable \(x\).

1. **Combine Like Terms**:
- The \(x\) terms are \(-6x\) and \(10x\).
- Combine these two:
\[
-6x + 10x = (10 - 6)x = 4x
\]

2. **Recombine with the \(y\) term**:
- Now, we can rewrite the expression with the simplified \(x\) term:
\[
4x + 8y
\]

So, the simplified version of the equation \(-6x + 8y + 10x\) is:
\[
\mathbf{4x + 8y}
\]
