Simplify 2(x-1) + 3(x+2) simplify (4y-3) - 2(y-5)

For these problems we need to distribute first and then combine like terms. We can add anything with an "x" together and anything without an "x" together.

Problem 1:

2(x-1)+3(x+2)
2x - 2 + 3x + 6
5x + 4

Problem 2:

(4y-3)-2(y-5)
4y - 3 - 2y + 10
2y + 7

The equation is y=17(7)+600 and it equals 717
