1- Gather like terms together
3 x + 3 x - 2 x + 22 + 6 x y -> (3 x + 3 x - 2 x) + 22 + 6 x y
2- Collect coefficients of like terms: (3 x + 3 x - 2 x) + 22 + 6 x y⇒ (3 + 3 - 2) times x + 22 + 6 x y3-3- Calculate the sum or difference: (3 + 3 - 2) times x + 22 + 6 x y ⇒ 4 x + 22 + 6 x y
4- 4x + 22 + 6 x y
^Which is the answer.

Hi Brittany,
Thank you for sharing your steps to simplify the expression! Your breakdown of gathering like terms and collecting coefficients is very clear.
Just to confirm, the expression simplifies correctly to:
\[4x + 22 + 6xy\]
Great job! Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to discuss or any further questions you have!
Best,
