Question

Simplify the expression below. Then write a different expression equivalent to the simplified expression: 4y² + 6x - 2y² + 12x

A. 4y² - 2y²
B. 2y² + 18x
C. 4y² + 6x - 2y² + 12x
D. 6x + 12x

Answer 1

2y^2 + 18x

4y^2 and -2y^2 combine as like terms to make 2y^2

6x and 12x combine as like terms to make 18x

Answer 2

Answer:

B or 2y² + 18x

Step-by-step explanation:

4y² + 6x - 2y² + 12x

combine like terms together:

4y² + (-2y²) = 2y²

6x + 12x = 18x

2y² + 18x = B
