I don't see the original expression to simplify — it looks like it was omitted. Could you repost the expression (you can type it, or use parentheses and * for multiplication)?

If helpful, here are two quick ways to determine which choice is equivalent once you paste it:

- Algebraically: combine like terms and distribute any factors to simplify into the form ax + by, then match a and b to one of the choices.
- Numerically: pick any values for x and y (for example x=1, y=2) and evaluate the original expression and each choice — the matching choice will give the same value for every test pair.

Post the missing expression and I’ll pick the correct choice and show the steps.
