3. (8x - 2y) + (3x - 4y)
11x+8y
4x-y
11x - 6y
5x + 2y
11x - 6y
To simplify the expression (8x - 2y) + (3x - 4y), you can combine like terms.
First, distribute the "+" sign to both terms inside the parenthesis:
8x - 2y + 3x - 4y
Combine the x terms and the y terms separately:
(8x + 3x) + (-2y - 4y)
Combine the x terms:
8x + 3x = 11x
Combine the y terms:
-2y - 4y = -6y
Therefore, the simplified expression is 11x - 6y.
