Q. Click and drag like terms onto each other to simplify fully.\newline2x25y+7y25x2y+y4y2 -2 x^{2}-5 y+7 y^{2}-5 x-2 y+y-4 y^{2}
  1. Identify Like Terms: Identify like terms in the expression. Like terms are terms that have the same variables raised to the same powers.\newline2x2-2x^{2} and 5x-5x are not like terms because they have different powers of xx.\newline5y-5y, 2y-2y, and yy are like terms because they all have the variable yy to the first power.\newline7y27y^{2} and 4y2-4y^{2} are like terms because they both have the variable yy to the second power.
  2. Combine Like Terms with yy: Combine the like terms involving yy to the first power: 5y2y+y-5y - 2y + y.\newline5y2y+y=52+1=6y-5y - 2y + y = -5 - 2 + 1 = -6y
  3. Combine Like Terms with y2y^2: Combine the like terms involving yy to the second power: 7y24y27y^{2} - 4y^{2}.\newline7y24y2=3y27y^{2} - 4y^{2} = 3y^{2}
  4. Rewrite Expression: Now, rewrite the expression with the combined like terms: 2x25x6y+3y2-2x^{2} - 5x - 6y + 3y^{2}
  5. Check for Further Simplifications: Check if there are any more like terms to combine or any other simplifications that can be made.\newlineThere are no more like terms, and the expression cannot be simplified further.
