Question

Find the sum of 5x^2y and (2x^2y + x^2y) the sum of 5x^2y and (2x^2y + x^2y) is

Answer 1

Answer:

$8 {x}^{2} y$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the sum of

$5 {x}^{2} y$

and

$(2 {x}^{2} y + {x}^{2}y)$

We add to obtain:

$5 {x}^{2}y + (2 {x}^{2} y + {x}^{2}y )$

Simplify the parenthesis to obtain:

$5 {x}^{2}y + 3 {x}^{2} y$

We simplify further by combining these two terms to get

$8 {x}^{2} y$

Answer 2

Answer:

8x^2y

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of 5x^2y and (2x^2y + x^2y) can be represented mathematically as;

5x^2y + (2x^2y + x^2y)

= 5x^2y + 2x^2y + x^2y

Factoring out the common value which is x^2y we will have;

x^2y(5+2+1)

=x^2y(8)

= 8x^2y

Therefore the sum of the two functions will give 8x^2y
