Question

simplify the expression: 6(x+y)+y−(x+3)

Answer 1

$\large\displaystyle\text{ \begin{gathered}\sf \bf{ 6(x+y)+y-(x+3)} \end{gathered} }$

Put the parentheses using: - (a + b)(= -a -b).

$\large\displaystyle\text{ \begin{gathered}\sf \bf{-\left(x+3\right)=-x-3 } \end{gathered} }$

$\large\displaystyle\text{ \begin{gathered}\sf \bf{=6\left(x+y\right)+y-x-3 } \end{gathered} }$

Expand 6(x+y): 6x+6y.

$\large\displaystyle\text{ \begin{gathered}\sf \bf{=6x+6y+y-x-3 } \end{gathered} }$

Add like elements 6y+y=7y

$\large\displaystyle\text{ \begin{gathered}\sf \bf{=6x+7y-x-3 } \end{gathered} }$
