13xy



Explain what is incorrect in the problem above? Next show "how to" correctly combine like terms: 6x + 5x + 2y

Answer 1

+ + = -

6x + 5x + 2y ++- = -

1 x + 2y

3 xy

Answer 2

Answer: It should be 11x+2y

I hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here how you solve the problem step by step

Simplifying

6x + 5x + 2y = 7

Combine like terms: 6x + 5x = 11x

11x + 2y = 7

Solving

11x + 2y = 7

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2y' to each side of the equation.

11x + 2y + -2y = 7 + -2y

Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0

11x + 0 = 7 + -2y

11x = 7 + -2y

Divide each side by '11'.

x = 0.6363636364 + -0.1818181818y

Simplifying

x = 0.6363636364 + -0.1818181818y
