Find an expression which represents the sum of (4x + 9y) and (8x – 2y) in simplest terms.​

12x + 7y

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to set up an expression. Since it says "sum" we will be using addition

(4x + 9y) & (8x – 2y)

              \/

(4x + 9y) + (8x – 2y)

Next, we can drop the () as there is nothing to distribute

4x + 9y + 8x – 2y

Last, combine the like terms for "simplest terms"

4x + 9y + 8x – 2y

              \/

         12x + 7y

- There is a 4x and a 8x, this becomes 12x

- There is a 9y and a -2y, this becomes 7y

Hope this helps, have a wonderful day!
