Full solution

Q. Click and drag like terms onto each other to simplify fully.\newline3y15x2+4x -3-y-1-5 x-2+4 x
  1. Identify Like Terms: Identify like terms in the expression 3y15x2+4x-3 - y - 1 - 5x - 2 + 4x. Like terms are terms that contain the same variable raised to the same power. Here, 3-3, 1-1, and 2-2 are like terms because they are constants without variables. Similarly, 5x-5x and 4x4x are like terms because they both contain the variable xx raised to the first power.
  2. Combine Constant Terms: Combine the constant terms 3-3, 1-1, and 2-2.\newlineCalculation: 312=6-3 - 1 - 2 = -6
  3. Combine Variable Terms: Combine the terms with the variable xx, 5x-5x and 4x4x.\newlineCalculation: 5x+4x=1x-5x + 4x = -1x or simply x-x
  4. Write Simplified Expression: Write the simplified expression by combining the results from the previous steps.\newlineThe constant terms combined to 6-6 and the xx terms combined to x-x. The term with yy remains unchanged because there are no other yy terms to combine it with.\newlineFinal simplified expression: 6yx-6 - y - x
