5(x+y)-(x+y)
5X+15Y-X+Y
answer 6x-15y
Us this correct
no, how can 5x - x = 6x ?
if you have 5 apples and take one away .....
5(x+y)-(x+y)
= 5x + 5y - x - y
= ...
the answer is 4x-14y
no it isn't
5(x+y)-(x+y)
= 5x + 5y - x - y
= 4x - 4y
but
15(x+y)-(x+y)
= 15x + 15y - x - y
= 14x - 14y
so you clearly had a typo in your original post
No, that is not the correct answer. Let's break down the expression step-by-step to solve it correctly.
5(x+y) - (x+y)
To simplify this expression, we can distribute the 5 to both the x and y terms inside the parentheses:
5x + 5y - (x + y)
Now, let's simplify the expression further by removing the parentheses. Since we have a negative sign in front of the parentheses, we need to distribute the negative sign to all the terms inside the parentheses:
5x + 5y - x - y
Now, we can combine like terms. The x terms (5x and -x) and the y terms (5y and -y) can be combined:
(5x - x) + (5y - y)
This simplifies to:
4x + 4y
So, the correct answer is 4x + 4y.
