Question

Simplify the expression

-18y+14x-10y-13x

a
-8y-x

b
-28y+13x

c
x-28y

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \(-18y + 14x - 10y - 13x\), we can combine like terms.

First, let's group the \(y\) terms and the \(x\) terms:

1. Combine the \(y\) terms:
\[
-18y - 10y = -28y
\]

2. Combine the \(x\) terms:
\[
14x - 13x = 1x \text{ or simply } x
\]

Now, putting it all together, we have:
\[
-28y + x
\]

This can be rearranged as:
\[
x - 28y
\]

Thus, the simplified expression is \(x - 28y\).

Therefore, the answer is:
**c) \(x - 28y\)**.
