Full solution

Q. Click and drag like terms onto each other to simplify fully.\newline4x77y12y -4 x-7-7 y-1-2 y
  1. Identify Like Terms: Identify like terms in the expression. Like terms are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same powers. In this expression, the like terms are 7-7 and 1-1 (which are both constants) and 7y-7y and 2y-2y (which both contain the variable yy).
  2. Combine Constant Terms: Combine the constant terms 7-7 and 1-1. To combine them, simply add the numbers together.\newline7+(1)=8-7 + (-1) = -8
  3. Combine Like Terms with Variable: Combine the like terms that contain the variable yy. To combine 7y-7y and 2y-2y, add the coefficients (the numbers in front of the yy).\newline7y+(2y)=9y-7y + (-2y) = -9y
  4. Write Simplified Expression: Write the simplified expression by combining the results from the previous steps with the term 4x-4x that has not been combined with any other term, as there are no like terms for 4x-4x. The simplified expression is 4x89y-4x - 8 - 9y.
