Full solution

Q. Click and drag like terms onto each other to simplify fully.\newline5x6+2x13y1 -5 x-6+2 x-1-3 y-1
  1. Identify Like Terms: First, identify like terms in the expression. Like terms are terms that contain the same variable raised to the same power.\newlineIn the expression 5x6+2x13y1-5x-6+2x-1-3y-1, the like terms are:\newline5x-5x and 2x2x (both have the variable xx)\newline6-6, 1-1, and 1-1 (all are constant terms without variables)\newline3y-3y (stands alone as there are no other yy terms)
  2. Combine X Terms: Combine the like terms with the variable xx.5x+2x=3x-5x + 2x = -3x This simplifies the xx terms.
  3. Combine Constant Terms: Combine the constant terms.\newline611=8-6 - 1 - 1 = -8\newlineThis simplifies the constant terms.
  4. Write Simplified Expression: Write down the simplified expression with the combined like terms.\newlineThe simplified expression is 3x3y8-3x - 3y - 8.
