question 2
combine all like terms in the proper order:
-9y - 3x + 6y - 4 + 10y + 10x + 5 + 7y - 10y - x

Explanation:

Step1: Group like terms (x, y, constants)

For \(x\) terms: \(-3x + 10x - x\)
For \(y\) terms: \(-9y + 6y + 10y + 7y - 10y\)
For constants: \(-4 + 5\)

Step2: Combine \(x\) terms

\(-3x + 10x - x = (-3 + 10 - 1)x = 6x\)

Step3: Combine \(y\) terms

\(-9y + 6y + 10y + 7y - 10y = (-9 + 6 + 10 + 7 - 10)y = 4y\)

Step4: Combine constants

\(-4 + 5 = 1\)

Step5: Combine all results

\(6x + 4y + 1\)

Answer:

\(6x + 4y + 1\)
