Fill in the blanks with the correct coefficients when simplifying the expression.

(14x+6y)+(5x+12y)

__ x+__ y

1 answer

To simplify the expression \((14x + 6y) + (5x + 12y)\), you need to combine like terms.

  1. Combine the \(x\) terms: \[ 14x + 5x = 19x \]

  2. Combine the \(y\) terms: \[ 6y + 12y = 18y \]

So, the simplified expression is: \[ 19x + 18y \]

Thus, the coefficients are:

__ 19 __ x + __ 18 __ y
