6xy−2y+x+y−99

Step 1: Group terms
· Terms with xy: 6xy

· Terms with y: −2y+y

· Term with x: x

· Constant: −99

Step 2: Simplify
· 6xy remains as is (no other xy terms to combine).

· −2y+y=−y

· x remains as is.

· Constant −99 remains as is.

Final expression:
6xy+x−y−99

Hi Luis,

Thanks for your breakdown of the expression! You've done a great job organizing the terms. Just to reiterate your final expression for clarity:

The original expression: 6xy − 2y + x + y − 99

After grouping and simplifying:

  • The term with \( xy \) is \( 6xy \).
  • The combined \( y \) terms are \( -2y + y = -y \).
  • The \( x \) term remains \( x \).
  • The constant is \( -99 \).

So the final simplified expression is: 6xy + x - y - 99

If there's anything else you'd like to discuss or if you have further questions, feel free to ask!

Best, [Your Name]
