Question

-3y - 3y - 5 + 5 + 2
result:
answer attempt 1 out of 2
you must answer all questions above in order to submit.

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like terms for y

To combine \(-3y\) and \(-3y\), we add their coefficients. The coefficient of \(y\) in both terms is \(-3\), so \(-3y - 3y = (-3 - 3)y=-6y\).

Step2: Combine constant terms

Now, combine the constant terms \(-5\), \(+5\), and \(+2\). \(-5 + 5 = 0\), and then \(0 + 2 = 2\).

Step3: Combine the results from Step1 and Step2

Putting the results together, we have \(-6y+2\).

Answer:

\(-6y + 2\)
