Justify each step used to simplify the expression. 1. 3x+ 2y− 2x+ 2 = 3x− 2x+ 2y+ 2

.

Step-by-step explanation:

well let’s think about it this way. we can take the like numbers and add or subtract them right? so let’s think of all the like numbers.

3x, -2x, and 2x are like numbers

2y, and 2y are like numbers

2 and 2 are like numbers.

now that we have all of the like numbers down, lets start with the first set of numbers before the = sign.

3x+ 2y- 2x+ 2

well since we have 2 like numbers in there, let’s add those, so we have 3x + 2x, which that would give us 5x. since we have nothing else in that, out expression for that one would be 5x + 2y + 2. next one we have:

3x - 2x+ 2y+ 2

we have like factors in this one too. since we have a subtraction sign in between them, we have to take 3x - 2x which gives us 1x or x. which that expression would be (x + 2y + 2). if you have to add the expressions together the whole thing would be (6x + 4y + 4).

if the (-) is supposed to be a negative, then the problems would be, x + 2y+ 2; x + 2y + 2. which the ending would be 2x + 4y + 4. hope this helps. if i’m wrong someon correct me.

answer: -2+√x,-2-√x

i hope this , i don't know if you're looking for a pair or not.
