Question

simplify 6 - 2y + (-8y) + 4.7.
6 - 2y + (-8y) + 4.7 = \square
(simplify your answer. use integers or decimals for any numbers in the expressi

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like terms (constants)

Add the constant terms \(6\) and \(4.7\).
\(6 + 4.7 = 10.7\)

Step2: Combine like terms (y - terms)

Add the \(y\) - terms \(-2y\) and \(-8y\).
\(-2y+(-8y)=-2y - 8y=-10y\)

Step3: Combine the results

Combine the results from Step 1 and Step 2.
\(10.7-10y\) (or \(- 10y + 10.7\))

Answer:

\(-10y + 10.7\)
