simplify the expression

(5y - 1) + (-27x + 4)

1 answer

To simplify the expression \((5y - 1) + (-27x + 4)\), we can combine like terms:

  1. Combine the constant terms: \(-1 + 4 = 3\)
  2. The terms with \(y\) remain as \(5y\).
  3. The term with \(x\) is \(-27x\).

Putting it all together:

\[ (5y - 1) + (-27x + 4) = 5y - 27x + 3 \]

So the simplified expression is:

\[ 5y - 27x + 3 \]
