Combine like terms.

This is a concept used all over mathematics.

3x+3x-2x+22+6xy

2(3xy+2x+11)

= 6xy+4x+22

Answer 1

Sure! When I combine the terms in the expression, I first look for like terms. I start with the 'x' terms: I have three 'x' from the first part, another three 'x', and then I subtract two 'x'. This simplifies down to four 'x' in total.

Next, I see the constant values, which are twenty-two, and I also notice the 'xy' term. There is one term with 'xy' that is six 'xy'.

So, bringing it all together, I end up with six 'xy' plus four 'x' and still have the constant twenty-two remaining. This gives me the simplified result of six 'xy' plus four 'x' and twenty-two, and I can also express this as two times the sum of three 'xy', two 'x', and eleven.

It’s great to see how combining terms streamlines the expression!
