Question

How do you simplify 5xy−6x2y2+4x2y2−2xy?

Answer 1

Answer : - 5xy

Step by step explanation :

$5xy - 6x2y2 + 4x2y2 - 2xy$

Calculate the product by writing the repeated multiplication in exponential form, evaluating the power, and then multiply the numbers.

$= > 5xy - 24xy + 16xy - 2xy$

Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients.

$= > (5 - 24 + 16 - 2)xy$

Calculate the sum or difference.

$= > - 5xy$
