Question

bell
*(x - 16 + 3y) - (2x + 18 - y)
2x + 2y - xy - 4 + (-8x) -15
3x + 15y - (3y + 12)
-⅓x + ⅔y - ⅚ + ⅔y - ⅙x
wednesday
2(3x + 15) - 3(3y + 12)
6x - ¾y - ⅝ - ⅞y + ½x

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the problem type

The problem involves algebraic expressions with variables \(x\) and \(y\), likely requiring simplification (combining like terms, distributing coefficients).

Step2: Analyze a clear expression (e.g., \(2(3x + 15) - 3(3y + 12)\))

First, distribute the coefficients:
\(2(3x)+2(15)-3(3y)-3(12)\)
\(= 6x + 30 - 9y - 36\)

Step3: Combine like terms

Combine constant terms: \(30 - 36 = -6\)
Result: \(6x - 9y - 6\)

Answer:

For the expression \(2(3x + 15) - 3(3y + 12)\), the simplified form is \(\boldsymbol{6x - 9y - 6}\). (Other expressions can be simplified similarly by distributing and combining like terms.)
